Has anyone else nearly shot their TV?

[Jerry D Mead]

Our first spat!

I'm probably the last defender of the rights of American wineries to the semi-generic name "champagne." In the case of Korbel, they've been using it for more than 100 years...a lot longer than most of the multi-national conglomrates peddling what passes for "La Champagne" these days.

RE the hyperbole of the ads...well, that's just typical American advertising...doesn't bother me any more than claims such as "World's Greatest Hamburger," at a greasy spoon in Bishop. And no one is buying that kind of hype, except perhaps an upwardly mobile Jacques Bonet drinker who would be done a service.

To be continued in next frame...
