From the San Jose Mercury News, Tuesday/March 6: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Almaden Introduces New Wine | | ======= ========== === ==== | | | | Hoping to reach drinkers who prefer sweet white wines over dry ones, | | Almaden Vineyards of San Jose has introduced Almaden Golden Chablis. | | | | Almaden, a subsidiary of National Distillers, plans to open a | | nine-week, $6 million nationwide advertising campaign on March | | 19 to promote the wine, which is described as "fruiter and fuller- | | bodied" than Almaden's best-selling Almaden Mountain White Chablis. | | | | The suggested price on Golden Chablis is $4.85 for a 1.5 milliliter | | [sic] bottle. | | . | | . | | . | | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I think Almaden should fire their marketing department. I can't see how a mass-market wine will reach the mass market at those prices :-) .

I don't know. I'd probably buy one for the 1.5ml bottle itself. It ought to be real cute looking. -Ron
