Obama 'Champagne' blunder threatens entente cordiale

(Decanter) - Franco-American relations have been dealt a blow by the way a Californian Champagne has been listed on the menu for President Obama's second term inaugural lunch later this month. In a menu that pairs lobster with Riesling and bison with Merlot, the accompaniment to the apple pie dessert is listed as Korbel Natural, Special Inaugural Cuvée Champagne, California.
This has sent the French ‘popping mad’, according to a report in Wednesday’s Los Angeles Times.
