(2,407 posts)I had Korbel at my wedding. Im a fan. But its far from Americas only champagne.
First of all, its not a Champagne. Champagne comes from a specific area in France. Here Korbeland othersmake sparkling wine.
Second, you can argue that because Mumms and Roederrer and Moët-Chandon are owned by European companies that theyre not American, but they are made here from grapes grown here.
Finally, as Im drinking an excellent California, Russian River Valley Chardonnay in relief (celebration might be too strong a word, but what the hell) indeed celebration, I note that if I had a bottle of Schramsberg, J, Gruet, or any of another bunch of excellent (I first spelled that eshellent because, you know, glass #3) all American sparkling wines, Id drink them and Id raise a glass to you, FailureToCommunicate, for toasting the indictment with much loved Korbel, one of Americas finest. Hallelujah!!
