Maybe we keep the good stuff in California, but in my wine drinking experience so far, French and Italian wines aren't noticeably better. In fact, all the best wines I've had have been Californian, but that could be because I got it at the winery itself.
Less demand for California wines means they're cheaper for me, that's not a bad thing in my book.
Stick it to us Canada, we sure fucking deserve it.
What about a masters in engineering and a bachelor's in chemistry makes him even double more qualified? Yeah, maybe if he had a doctorate you could make that argument, but you could easily learn and do as much science work in 6 years outside of a university than you would in a BS and MS program at a university.
