The fact that the farmers are unionized tells us all we need to know about the state of agriculture over there.
I haven't touched French wine since I discovered the Pelee Island Winery.
"Pelee Island Winery"........
Do you live near there?
Yeah, why spend an ungodly amount of money for the prestige of having a bottle with "Chablis" on the label, when good Ontario Chardonnay sells at half the price or less?
(American wines are good too, but the difference in climate between California and France is like comparing apples and oranges, as the characteristics of the wine are very different.)
