Drink Aussie wines. Loyal allies and great taste. The Rosemount Reserve Cab-Sauv at about $15-$18 a bottle is an incredible bargain. If it had a French label, it would go for $50+ a bottle, it's that good.
Why would Americans travel to France these days? It's obvious we're not wanted. I wouldn't feel safe.

Even the cheaper wines on the Rosemount label are pretty darn good. I've gone through several cases of Rosemount Shiraz (priced around $9 a bottle - $12 for an individual bottle) over the past few years. Along with the wines from the Rancho Zabaco label (California), these are my core everyday "table" wines.

(California wine beats French wine in blind taste tests. Boycott French wine.)

Lindemann, also from Australia, has a very nice Chardonney and Merlot. Prices are very reasonable.

I agree. I heartily recommend "Dallas Conte"...product of Chile. I'm pretty sure the vines came from France. Both the Merlot and Cab are fabulous. $8.99 here in Boston for the 2000 year. Can't get the 1999 anymore. Should go for 20 bucks. Don't care for their Chardonney, but it could be me. Everyone I serve it to likes it.
Check it out.

I agree with you that Aussie wines are great. I discovered the Aussie wine several years ago and it gets better each year. French wines are to dry for me and now I wont drink it anyway. Between the west coast wineries and Australia, if France disappeard who would notice.
