Wines which goes well with Spicy Indian Food

[Randy Caparoso]

The only thing I can say is that whatever one may think about big, "bad" producers like Korbel, they still make good tasting wine, especially for the price. And besides, even the dumbest consumer knows that there is a difference between fine French Champagne and average quality American "Champagne." Problem? What problem? I'm also sure late, great Jack Davies died perfectly satisfied that he never duped a customer in his life with his "Champagnes."

Let's put it still another way: the Italians and French have been duping consumers left and right for years with their fake chateaux, their fake Pinot Grigio, their fake appellations, etc., etc. If we can forgive their excesses, certainly we can forgive a good quality American producer who is at least above board in the way they market their wine. Personally, I give less of a damn about the feelings of the French (not to mention wine snobs all over the world) than I do about the freedom of American wineries to deliver the best product they can for the money to the everyday consumer (who also doesn't give a damn about such distinctions, even when they know it!).
