Default Can Sparkling Wine From The U.S. Be Called Champagne?

M'Lawd the Burgundy Alley Goat is... Burgundy? And the
Sauvignon de St Bris is, no doubt about it, Bourgogne,
administratively and in wine terms...

Actually we're getting close to defining just how many
angels can dance on the head of a pin.


Bill, with an ounce of planning and some stability in the world's currency
markets (lest I should convert all my holdings into Lilangeni!), it is my
intention to again arrive in the general neighbourhood of Mr. Tommasi - some
time around mid-September.

Whereupon, I shall demand that he and Cathy should invite me and my tribe to
dinner at Chez Tommasi, where he can show me a bottle or two of those
well-known and plentiful examples of *Burgundy* he quotes (Aligot� and
Sauvignon de St Bris) matched perfectly with some local cuisine.

Methinks he will need to start his search very soon - lest he be found
wanting !!!!!!!!!

Cheers

To be fair M'Lawd I've had many a Kir in Burgundy made with Aligote
and Brocard distributes a pretty fair Sauvignon de St Bris here in
America. I do not think of either as being "Burgundy" however.
