A city and a grape? I didn't know that. I live in apple country here in the US and recently many apple orchards are being ripped up and grapes going in their place. I think we are becoming more well known for wines now.

If you want a interesting experience try the Florida Orange Groves Inc and Winery. They make wine from tomatoes and watermelon!

Champagne specifically? Because that only comes from France. If you mean sparkling wine, I served Korbel at my wedding, and it went over very well. I think I paid about $14 a bottle.

There are some good inexpensive choices for sparkling wine. You can read a review of the Cristalino from Spain. Barefoot wines has a decent, but inexpensive sparkler from California.

I like Barefoot Chardonnay! I'll definitely try the sparkling wine. Maybe I'll get a bottle of the Cristalino too. It sounds like it's not too sweet. Thanks.

Prosecco is a description of the degree of sweetness. There are some very expensive Italian sparkling wines that are proseccos and others that are not expensive. Here is a list of inexpensive alternatives to Champagne: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art15350.aspLambrusco can be an awesome wine. When I was in Italy during October I visited the Salamino di Santa Croce. The wines range from dry to sweet. We don't get most of the dry lambruscos here in the US and are a great find when you can get them.
