Most American great directors came from Europe? Well, we agree on some points, mon ami, but here we diverge. I'll grant you "some...", but not "most." De Mille, Stevens, Kubrick, Ford...I could go on and on.
Wine? Quite seriously, I used to just about drink only French wine; five trips to the grand country only consolidated my tastes. But now...I find I drink very little French wine, in general (Champagne mostly). Pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot gris...I drink from Oregon. France's own Domaine Drouhin produces one of our (I'm an Oregonian, at least for a few months more) best local wines. We're the producer that whipped up on the French in the dreaded double blind tasting tests of fifteen or so years ago in which Oregon pinot noir triumphed. Ouch.
