...other than champagne, my wife's favorite varietal (reds give her a headache).

I don't drink it but most women I know do.

And it's CA domestic not Grand Cru.

Probably Rombauer is most the popular one for those who can aford it - extreme oak and butter ($35).

Champagne isn't a varietal - jimbill 12:35:01 06/23/18 (1)
Varietals used in champagne are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.

I do like a well made Chardonnay. With food, I prefer a french style which are typically drier and have more of a mineral element.

I also love a good Riesling. I've had some good American but I still prefer a German made. Unluckily it seems they have fallen out of favor. The selection at stores has reduced to about 30% of what they used to carry here in Houston.

  ...most of what we drink isn't even real champagne!
