1. I'll second the Vive La France
And I've nothing against beaujolais, but it's the bordeaux reds that I love best about French wines. Nummy!

2. Moi aussi...
but I was at a party... which I now have to leave... that featured beaujolais... and I just wanted to remind you all to buy French wine! Excellent, and economic.

3. One of my favs
is a cheap bottle of red table wine, L'Epayrie.

Of course I also love the beaujoulais and pinot noirs and merlots.

My favorite with prime rib is a shiraz.

6. can't mix wine and whiskey
Oh well. I support france. My partner is there right now working in paris... as i dial 0033 instead of 0049 to say i love you goodnight during the work week.... commuting to france from scotland for work is not ideal, but if you like paris restaurants, it can be quite fun.... i must go visit paris soon, as the flat is on an island in the middle of the siene... ooh... but then i love the scottish highland nature where i am.... and paris, however good the food, is no comparison to my home cooked fresh scottish cuisine.

8. If it weren't political
I wouldn't drink it. But I do it just for Spite!
Vive Petrus!

California wine is so much better.

10. Normally yes, but it's 9:45am and I'm in Australia.......
:-)

Have to go with Australian wines at the moment, and to be honest they're amazing...but even they're not for breakfast!
