JR,
some of the Big Cali producers, misuse the terminology, a classic is
Califorinia "Beaujolais", everyone here knows that Beaujolais is from France
and made from the Gamay grape. Or Claifornia Burgundy, Burgundy is a region
in Franch and the red is primarily Pinot Noir. Sometimes the Paul Mason's
and a few others create bulk wine and label it with semi-legitimate names.
My 2 cents.... ;-)
