donc's Profile

Actually, quite the contrary is true. The manufacturer, creator, company and owner are all from Brooklyn. At this point, they're only available in Brooklyn (www.redwhiteandbubbly.com) and they're created uniquely for Brooklyn. This blend (Feliz) doesn't exist anywhere else, so it's signature of Brooklyn. Brooklyn's mayor even proclaimed it as the official wine of Brooklyn.

Your logic is also flawed. Peter Luger's steaks aren't from cows raised in New York. The Empire State Building is built with marble from outside New York State. Most of New York's original fashions come from textiles manufactured outside New York State. Even the Statue of Liberty, the universal symbol of New York City, was built in France with materials from outside New York State. However, none of the materials included in these products make the products themselves, any less signature to New York.

Regardless, I wouldn't refer to it as mediocre and undistinguished at all (especially if you've never tried it). The wine is quite good, and Brooklynites' response has been nothing but positive.
