"Personally I like Aussie wine" - WOW! Since the boycott started, that's what we've been buying (I know, I know, there's also Chilean and South African wine), but we have been BLOWN AWAY by Australian wine. This is like a whole new world.You know, there's that old saying "Once they've seen Paris". Well, I think the french are gonna find out that, now that the rest of the civilized world who is fed up with their support of fascism have begun buying Australian (or Chilean or S. African) in protest are never gonna go back. Even if the French ditch the crooked Nazi Chirac. Australian wine, frankly, is amazing, and beats the heck, in value and taste, out of those overrated, expensive losers in "La Belle Fasc..er France." Until now, I hadn't realized how far the D-U guys had come. Talk about good timing!

I bought two reds last week, a really nice California merlot and a Aussie shibaz. The latter was especially a treat, and I expect to buy it a lot. I would rather drink camel pee than French wine.

We live in NC and there is some very good local wines, especially from the Biltmore Estate. When my wife and I are looking at wines, I ask her if she wants Biltmore or "Kangeroo" (Aussie). It cracks her up every time!

I like champagne, and I drink Champagne Cocktails.

Spain makes this great "sparkling win" called Freixenet.

Of course I can't spell it, but it's in a black bottle with a black label.

The woman who owns the place I drink at stocked it there DELIBERATELY! I found out she is a big time Republican fund raiser!! How cool is that??
