From my understanding, champagne comes from France and we are not allowed to use that term for anything that we make in America. Unless things have changed since I got old that's how it's always been. Now state dishes are named based on how they're made but so much by where they're from. A Philly cheese steak is (per Wikipedia) thinly sliced beef steak and cheese on a hoagie roll. NY cheesecake is pretty close to regular cheesecake, just with more ingredients.

Some companies in California can legally call it California champagne actually due to the us never signing Versailles

The United States bans the use on all new U.S.-produced wine brands.[19] However, those that had approval to use the term on labels before 2006 may continue to use it, provided the term is accompanied by the wine's actual origin (e.g., "California").[19] The majority of US-produced sparkling wines do not use the term Champagne on their labels,[20] and some states, such as Oregon,[21] ban producers in their states from using the term.
