Has anyone else nearly shot their TV?

[Ruthbug]

First of all I'd like to say to Tom Stevenson "welcome to wines.com" [can I say America on Wine yet?]. Over the holidays my folks gave me a wonderful present. Its a book called The New Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia. I get the feeling Tom is very familiar with this book.
Anyway on to Korbel. I agree with Roberto they are slimes for the kind of advertising they are using, but also agree with Jerry that they have the right to do it and it probably is an effective commercial. I know a lot of white zin lemmings that would reach for Korbel if they need a "champagne" because of the commercial.
Say.......I think I'll quote from my new present. Re:Korbel...."This is California's leading sparkling wine specialist in the popular sector." Nothing more is said. A polite and true comment Tom. I suppose you had to say something.
