A friend and winemaker once convinced me that certain kinds of wines taste better with certain kinds of music, and that the wrong pairing makes for dis-chord.
I thought of that years ago when I attended a small dinner for lovers of Chablis. I refer to that utterly sublime white wine from the French district called Chablis (shah-BLEE) and thus the word should be capitalized.
Chablis is a place name in France, and this country agrees that the name can only appear on products so long called Chablis here that they are grandfathered in. Chablis, one of the world's least understood fine white wines, is a delicate all-chardonnay wine that's radically different from most California-ized chardonnays.
