|  Hoping to reach drinkers who prefer sweet white wines over dry ones,        |
|  Almaden Vineyards of San Jose has introduced Almaden Golden Chablis.        |
|                                                                              |
|  Almaden, a subsidiary of National Distillers, plans to open a               |
|  nine-week, $6 million nationwide advertising campaign on March              |
|  19 to promote the wine, which is described as "fruiter and fuller-          |
|  bodied" than Almaden's best-selling Almaden Mountain White Chablis.         |
|                                                                              |
|  The suggested price on Golden Chablis is $4.85 for a 1.5 milliliter         |
|  [sic] bottle.                                                               |

|       .                                                                      |

I think Almaden should fire their marketing department.  I can't see how
a mass-market wine will reach the mass market at those prices :-) .
