Count California Senator Carole Migden as, well, crushed. On Monday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed her bill that would have designated zinfandel as the official "historic wine of California ," reports the San Jose Mercury News. The senator, incidentally, prefers San Pelligrino to vino.

"It would be a shame," the governor wrote, to effectively snub syrah and spite chardonnay.

"Whether it is a Cabernet from Napa or Sonoma , a delicate Pinot Noir from the Central Coast, a Zinfandel from the San Joaquin Valley or Sierra Foothills, California produces some of the finest wines in the world," Schwarzenegger wrote in his veto message. " California wines have inspired authors, artists and Oscar-winning motion pictures."
