I'd be grateful if one of you out there - California, for example -
could tell me something about the Laurent Perrier winery.  I can
find no mention of it in a couple of the more common listings books.
They have a particularly nice Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs, 1981.
They label says San Jose and not much else.

Laurent Perrier in California is, as I understand it, a joint venture
between Almaden and the "real" Laurent Perrier people in France.  The
wines are produced at Almaden's facilities, hence no appearance of the
Laurent Perrier name on California wine maps.
