Chablis comment is Micca's but I have read that our American "Chablis" is obviously not Chablis at all and is generally plonk.

Varietals seems to be largely an AMerican concept that possibly has been espoused by AUstraila and New Zealand but France (except for Burgundy region) seems to believe in blends more than one grape variety.) I know that lots of Varietals come from Europe as well, the Nebbiolo grape in Italy and certainly Riesling and Gewurstraminer from the Rhine, but I guess what I am saying is that for an AMerican wine to be taken seriously it is not a blend as the great wines of France are predominately.
