Tim's list mostly covers producers available in the US, although the Australian list is almost completely not available in the US (at least to my knowledge or in the stores I frequent). I've had similar experiences looking at the Beaujolais names discussed on the UK wine board. However, one also should note that those names popular in the US/UK/Australia etc are often not necessarily popular in France.

Watch for it.

I thought these were the usual suspects. Or at least some of them.
