Tasting wine in the Provence

Source: abcnews.go.com. Posted on 23 November 2004.

Wine-lovers will find nothing to whine about in the Provence region of France. The wines are magnifique and the tastings offered by vintners are part of the fun. After all, it's not every day that you sip a glass of rosé poured by someone whose family name has been on the label for two centuries.

Provence is the land of rich red wines and fresh, crisp, fruity rosés - not the insipid blush stuff found in the States. They're a perfect match for the hot days and Mediterranean cuisine.
