Mike Steinberger has a great recent article on Slate.com about the wines of France still being considered as best in the world. He makes a great point that although enthusiasts often move around the world in search of new varietals and expressions of terroir, they invariably come back to France as the source for their wine. I won't give the rest away but it is an interesting read and will hopefully make you think about giving French wine a shot at your next market or restaurant visit.
