Bucket List Wines: France Part II I published a bucket list for the wines of France two weeks ago and took some grief for it. I try to keep these installments short, so I felt a need to be strict in my selection process. Many people felt I was a little too strict. Here’s a smattering of the feedback I received:

You're right, you should get grief on excluding the great white burgundies, some of the finest expression of chardonnay on the planet.

Leaving out the chenins of Vouvray is like leaving a continent off your travel bucket list.

Everybody forgets Côte-Rotie, and they are an unforgettable experience.

Wow. No Champagne?

As you can see, I have my work cut out for me. In the spirit of the great appeasers, here is my bucket list for France, part II: the conciliation edition!

    The problem is that France has many,if not most,of the world's beautiful wines of all types and styles.so there are so many to chose from.I am sure that somebody will still critisise your list for leaving out something
