You know your bandwagon's got steam when even the French hop on

[ShortWiner]

To me the excitement of wine is in it's endless variety. So personally, I think I'd like it if France stayed just the way it is. I like the idea that there's a big country over the ocean that makes a bunch of wines I don't yet understand. Yeah, even if a lot of it isn't any good (that just seems to be the way it is with wine, everywhere). I love that I can always go see Foodie at is-wine or read Roberto's mailer and discover a wine I haven't heard of. Or just pick something out at the store, take it home and read up on it, then give it a try. There's so much out there to try and experience! This wine dork's just hoping there will be as much variety when my grandchildren come over for a bottle from my cellar.
