Foul!  I thought for a second that a new French appellation had suddenly
come into existence.  Although I understand that Chalone makes a wonderful
wine based on Pinot Noir, it is hardly informative to call it a Red Burgundy,
since, unless some envious French spies have been successful in uprooting
it, it is nestled rather comfortably in the hills of sunny California.

Can someone in the Know please send me some info about this legendary
(in Canada, at any rate) vineyard?
