Hmmm. I thought Boone's Farm achieved that years ago.

At least we'll be able to say we've been following it since the very start.

It's interesting, isn't it, that their initial offering is a profoundly unfashionable, undervalued grape, admittedly one that is seeing a resurgence of late. Don't get me wrong, I love a good muscat (especially from Alsace), but 100+ grams of sugar? If you were going to target something, why not Champagne? Though they are working on pinot and cab, which is probably in the right direction. Heck, I would try any of the $$$$ bottles just for curiosity, even if it wasn't a style I would like, and I'd certainly spend $20 on a clone. It seems like an interesting approach, and I find the post analogy apt. The paintings in the Musee d'Orsay are spectacular, and a poster is no substitute for seeing them in person, but it's also a very nice thing to hang on your wall.

100+ grams of sugar??? Whoa now.
