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

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?

Ask the AOC/INAO authorities. Afaik, they *have* to bottle it this way.

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.
