Wines which goes well with Spicy Indian Food

Randy, it's not the appropriation of place names that grinds me in those ads. It's the rank promotion of "brand anxiety" TIED IN with the false information. The average Korbel spot features a situation (swanky New Years party at a gazillion dollar mansion or a high level fund raiser of Society folks) where if the sparkling wine WAS Korbel the guests would be horrified as they expect and are used to something much better regardless of origin or labeling.

I am convinced that if Bud and Brown Forman could get Leni Reifenstahl to make their commercials for them they would. They are REALLY good students of the master propagandist's "big lie" theory: Make up a whopper and repeat it until it seems to be the status quo.

PLUS, there are so many nice people making good wines there is really no need to subsidize those other folks.
