Jackie and I spent about five days in Provence in a small village named Taradeau. It is located in the wine area known as Collines du Haut Pays. Provence is made up of several different wine areas that contain more than 600 different wineries. In France, it's all about the terroir, or the local area where the wine is made. Almost all the wineries own their own vineyards in France, and the area where the grapes are grown is of high importance to the French wine consumer.

While we heart the local vino, we take the rules of being a locapour extremely seriously. This means we have to drink wines from all over the world, so long as our wine rack is filled with a good portion of Colorado wines. Here we meet with Kieth Miller of WineguysTV.com and he pops open a bottle of C. Donatiello 2006 Pinot Noir ($41). It just so happens that C. Donatello is one of our favorite Russian River vineyards.

There are many wine drinkers out there who simply say to the hell with whites, red wines make better drinking. While we are never going to argue personal palate, it’s safe to say that there are fantastic white wines out there — some with more body than a red. Colorado in particular is doing a great job with the handful of white varietals that grow well here. Remember, if it’s German sounding, it’s growing well here.

Typically I find myself in the camp that loves a good oaked Chardonnay. When done well, there is something so grandiose and filling about the way heavy oak, French especially, can taste in a white. On the other end of the spectrum, an unoaked Chardonnay usually comes off as pedestrian. It could be just any white wine in the world. Admittedly, this bias comes from a lack of experience trying really good unoaked Chards. Meaning some old-fashioned research was in order.

Paris, France—This was the big day for Paris, France, to sample Colorado wine for the first time. There were about 50 wineries at the U.S. Embassy for the American Wine Tasting, pouring wine for approximately 500 members of the French Wine industry, which included importers, restaurateurs, wine writers and local sommeliers.
