The French produce a lot of whine with their wine.

Microbrew in a glass, if I can get it, preferably an IPA with Crassostrea virginica, which is the kind of oyster I prefer, although it's really too late in the year for them now.

Why are wine snobs such turds?

Not sure. Oyster snobs are right up there, though.

[ The French, we have a complex message," says François Lurton, of Jacques & François Lurton... "In the U.S. a new generation of consumers has come to wine, and they are not educated enough to understand the complex message of European wine," he explains. ]

Being pathologically WRONG must be a French disease..
Maybe consuming French wine MAKES you stupid..
Its in the soil maybe..

BEWARE- buy Mexifornia wines..
It will make you LESS stupid.. almost as stupid as New York wines will make you but without the arrogance of either France or New York.. Australian wines will merely make you talk funny.. as will Chilean wines..
