California Chablis, Burgondy, etc., no longer so labeled

I *do* read the WSJ regularly and agree that its *news* section probably does a better job of covering trade issues than any other US newspaper (including the NYT). But its *editorial* section is pure drivel.

The WTO ruled that the tariffs were illegal and it was on that basis that the EU threatened retaliation. That was what forced repeal of the tariffs, not the mere fact that the WTO had declared them illegal.

I can't say for sure but I suspect that this is a reference to a situation that I described in a separate posting. The photographer was employed by a private contractor and the photographs were of flag-draped coffins, not body bags. Whether it was bad press for Bush depends on one's point of view. To me, it was simply a visual reminder of the *true* cost of the war. No names were mentioned so there is no way it could have interfered with notification of relatives.

Hmm... Interesting euphemism.

How would PinkNapa infringe on an US name?

No more than Screw Kappa Nappa which is has just been reviewed by the Wine Speculator. I only have problems with one name that was changed and that is Grange Hermitage. My fight with names like Chablis, Rhine and Sauterne started back about 1965. New York state wines were using those names. On a vacation back then it was all that was available to me so I bought one of each. The Chablis tasted like a nice Bernkasteler, the Sauterne tasted much like a heavily oaked California Chardonnay and the Rhine was a very sweet desert wine. I think that I have been campaigning against such names on US wines ever since then.
