Bordeaux: left bank red (can) right bank red (merlot)
Burgundy...you have correct, however there are other grapes grown there ie Sauv blanc in St Bris
Loire: much more in depth: at the coast is muscadet (melon de bourgogne)...then you have savennieres and quarts de chaume/bonnezeaux (Chenin blanc)...chinon, bourgeuil, and saumur (cab franc)...then Sancerre and pouilly fume (Sauv blanc...Sancerre rouge is Pinot noir)
Rhone; south (red Grenache dominant with Syrah and Mourvèdre white: Grenache blanc, Marsanne, roussanne) north (red is Syrah white is Viognier in condrieu and hermitage blanc would be Marsanne and roussanne)
Champagne is Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot meunier
Alsace does mostly whites: Pinot Gris, Muscat, Pinot blanc, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer

Yeah I've read a lot of that.
This is why French wine is absolutely ridiculous to regular people.

As one would expect from a certified Somm you are very knowledgeable indeed. If I may ask what pulled you out of LA? Also, what certification body did you test through?
Self admittedly I really believed much of the hype of someone having the ability to pare all the way down to a specific region of origin. However, the more I educate myself I can definitely see it to be very possible if you know what you are looking for. I find it fascinating how every minute detail can affect the final product when consumed.

I've been lurking this board for a long time and just wanted to say that you are one of my favorite posters here; you don't post enough. I try to read everything you ever write.
