Is it possible to find nice things to say about France without the ensuing discussion rapidly evolving into a U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A! discussion of health-care systems and such?
Speaking as retired professional wine geek (I used to sell the stuff for a living) I also tend to prefer Italian and Spanish wines to French. But I'll still drink French before most California wines.
If we're on a budget, we usually get A-Mano Primitivo, but I will buy U.S. wines like Chateau St Michelle reisling or $5 Beringer California cabernet. Many California wines I avoid, though, like Vendange which I suspect is liquified socks mixed with grape juice. Some of the lesser priced brands stink no matter what country they are from, Yellowtail or Rosemount.
