No way! There are plenty of domestic wines just as good as anything France has ever produced. The only thing unique about French wine is the arrogance.
Ok. Just checking. :)
My understanding is that most of the grape varieties in France are Californian in origin, due to some sort of a root-fungus that nearly wiped-out the entire domestic French wine industry. Hey, let's bash the French again!
I am reminded of Sept. 11th's immediate aftermath, when a comment by some minor European socialist and duly reported by the lap-dog press, would provoke waves of anti-European hysteria. Naturally, when the truth came out (Italy and Germany come to mind), those hysterics were nowhere to be found.
