I say we reposses our California grapevines. They probably never payed for
them anyway...


Bob
Good point. Most people don't know that French vineyards were
destroyed by rot and vine cuttings from California were sent to France
to re-plant them.

But you know how it is... we bad Americans never bail out the
Europeans ;-)

In all fairness, where'd the grapevines in California come from?

The way I heard it, the native American grapes, the nasty New England
ones, were the immune root stock. California was mostly planted with
true european grapes, on the theory that the nematode was only endemic
to europe. Wrong! The critters are eating up Napa as we speak, and
California growers are adapting the european habit of grafting
varietals onto Concord grape rootstock.

Interesting bit of trivia!

Never knew it exists. BTW it's called Beaujoleais primeur in this
surroundings but they say it becomes less interesting. Best wines seem to
come from South America (Chili) these days. Always sun and controlled water
supply.

I don't drink Beaujolais... I find it too weak-kneed, sort of like
wine-flavored water or mouth wash ;-)

In reds I prefer wines with considerable "tongue" such as Merlot,
Cabernet, Zinfandel or Shiraz.

And what furry little critters you are, too.
Want to buy some beaver pelts?

Cough, I thought we were buying them back.

Paint remover, except for the merlot. Some of the bordeaux are mighty
good, even if they are grown by frogmen.

I think you're missing the point.

Beaujolais Nouveau is simply young wine and frankly is way over-rated.

The French aren't your enemy btw. They gave you your Statue of Liberty.
They must be wondering what happened to some of the ethical principles
they must have assumed existed in the USA since then.

Had we ( US and UK ) heeded the advice of the French and not invaded
Iraq the world would likely be a considerably safer place than it is
now.

So you are saying the wine is so good you consider it a threat?
At least provide a link to where it can be ordered online.

Besides, we likely wouldn't have a whole bunch of Republicans polluting
scientific newsgroups with stuff that clearly doesn't belong to them.

Hey, a guy at work said Trader Joes is now selling wine for
even cheaper than Charles "Two Buck Chuck" Shaw!
