6. I see what you did...

I've heard Temecula Valley wines are pretty decent though; even though they do tend to taste like wines from NSW (Australia) from the wine aficionados I know say.
One of the older homes we rented back in the day had a grape vine from Champaign region growing in the back, they apparently brought it back from France in the late 1940's, early 50's. I managed to coax it back to fruiting after 10 years of previous renters and the last year we lived there, we were able to make an interesting pink grape juice. The original owner's heir then decided to downsize and we had to move, but he did thank us for saving the vine because he wanted to start making wine.
It won't be Champagne, but it was probably pretty decent.
