Franceâs Moet Hennessy is betting on Chinaâs taste for bubbly with the launch of sales this month by the first foreign-owned Chinese winery devoted to sparkling wine. Chinaâs appetite for Western-style wines has boomed in the past two decades, though the favorite still is red, a color associated with health and good luck. (AP Photo/Helene Franchineau)

FILE - In this Aug. 26, 2014, file photo, California Gov. Jerry Brown, standing, makes a toast to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, second from left, during a luncheon at the Leland Stanford Mansion in Sacramento, Calif. City council and school board members gathering for dinners, parties or other social affairs must guard their words or notify the public beforehand if a majority will attend and talk policy. The same rules do not apply for state lawmakers, who have long exempted themselves from the transparency rules that apply to other elected bodies in California. The vagueness of the special open meetings law for the state Legislature was highlighted last week when Brown invited all 120 lawmakers to the luncheon honoring Nieto.
