30 million gallons. California wines account for a 64 percent share of the U.S. wine market or about two of every three bottles sold in the United States.Yep, (hic!) that's true. Anything to support the French boycott, I always sez....

Other developments impacting the marketplace are the continued availability of what the industry terms "extreme-value" wines rolling out across the country. The category, retailing for $1.99 in California and $2.99 in other states for a bottle, was made possible from the excess inventories created by the large harvests of several years ago. That's cheaper than my ol' standby, a forty of MadDog 20/20... might have to snoop around next time I go shopping...

California is better than France in a relative sense. Texas has a growing wine industry. The vodak is pretty good too!

What about the heady nuance of Thunderbird? What about the plummy undertones of Night Train?

I had a landlord who would drink T-Bird and tea. It was actually good!

T-bird and Tea! That must have been an interesting combination.

Is that the wine that comes in a box?

That reminds me of the 2 liter bottles of wine coolers that I used to buy on Friday nights when I was in high school. I think it was just artificially flavored and colored alcohol water, but it was cheap.

This little movie mighta' helped, too.....

There is nothing that compares to Thunderbird's "kick to the teeth" boutique, and Night Train will always stand apart in my memory as the only wine to ever turn my tongue black... but MadDog 20/20 comes in a nice heavy fighting bottle, and that counts for quite a bit... because if you're ever in a social situation where it's acceptable to be drinking MadDog, you're probably going to need that bottle before the night is through...

Anybody remember Petri Wine? One of the first CA. Wines around. Not around anymore. Anyone know what happened to them or if it is still a vineyard under a new company? I remember it from the old Sherlock Holmes radio programs.
