California wines beat the French -- again / Even after 30 years of aging, state's Cabernets still tops

California wines beat the French -- again / Even after 30 years of aging, state's Cabernets still tops: "Who says California wines don't age?
The French do. Repeatedly.
Yet Gaul is biting its tongue today after California smoked France Wednesday in a cross-continental tasting of wines that have matured in cellars for three decades. The California Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines placed first through fifth, followed by four wines from France's hallowed Bordeaux region and then another California Cab.
Sacre bleu!"
