Look, I hate those surrender monkeys as much as any of you guys, maybe more having lived in proximity to them for so long. However, I still drink their wine. The climate in France differs quite severely to the climates in the 'New World' wine countries such as Australia, California, and S. Africa. Those climates are relatively stable, producing wines with a similar (great) taste every time. However, in France the weather is hugely variable. As a result, wines from some years may taste horrible, but on other years- 82 sticks out for bordeauxs- the wine exceeds all others.
So no, we should not exclude French wines from the forum, as by limiting the subject matter, we also limit what we can learn about wine.

JMO,

PS: fuck the french.

PPS: not literally; with lawyers, guns and money.
