his head looks rather out of proportion. one wonders if it's a photoshop product, and then of course one wonders if other parts aren't cut and paste as well.
 
Clos Du Bois, Sonoma County, 2000.

Why do California wineries try to sound french? Their wine is better than most of the french imports.

I have had Santa Alicia Merlot, a chilean merlot, pretty good.

I am glad I am feeling as I am supposed to.

As far as I know, when Philoxara (sp) took out a lot of the Californian vines the French donated new root stock. In return the Californians then took more Gallic names for a lot of the wines prodiced from the new hybrid vines.
 
Many California vineyards are actually (or were originally) planted with french rootstock and some were owned by French winemakers spreading into a new region. Most are not French owned now but retain the original names. Ironically now almost all European wines are produced from American rootstock that was grafted, after the philoxera epidemic that nearly killed all European vines.

That said, and although there are some very very excellent wines produced in the USA, on the whole your average American table wine cannot touch your average French in quality. (This is not to say there aren't also some less than great wines produced in France, but they are much fewer and further between.)

Chilean merlots are generally indeed divine. I don't know what it is about Chilean soil and sun that makes that particular grape variety excel, no doubt some sort of mineral in the dirt, but they are good!

I did not know that. Very interesting. I always thought it was an inferiority complex.

Other way round on the rootstock- see above.
