I’d swear I thought it was about a ring of terrorists busted in Napa valley

Making a wine tour of Napa Valley is well worth your time, but beware of the restaurants. Avoid “yuppie” joints, especially in Calistoga, where they’ve made an art of creating food fit for a dog, tacky ambience, and service that reviles POW treatment by sadistic guards.

I still vividly recall the unknown dish of apparent green frog guts, minced manzinita vinaigrette, topped with 10 year old dead goat cheese, with a side of ancient sourdough bread fit only as armor plate for an Abrams tank. And the house’s choice of wine was thinly disguised windshield washer whose bouquet could kill a Biblical plague of insects.

It would behoove the rest of the American domestic market to do the same with our AVA's (American Viticulture Area) for proprietary reasons.

I can imagine a bunch of left over bilge say from Languedoc re-labeled "Sonoma Style," or maybe "Columbia Valley Blend" or other such gimmick.

Just as Gallo called their swill "Chablis" before they got sued.

Good thing the appellation is not Nappy Valley...
