My two adult children and I are staying in Paris for four days in early June and wanted to do a quick train trip south to check out winetasting..spending two nights somewhere before taking the train back to Paris and flying back home. Any suggestions? (We love wine tasting and do a fair amount of it since we’re from the SF Bay Area!)
Thanks!
The Alsace area: Colmar or any of the smaller surrounding villages.

if you want to stretch, you could take the TGV to Beaune/Dijon which is all wineries
Dijon would be easy to reach, and Beaune is easily reached from there after a train change. Besides some worthwhile non-wine sights, Beaune has tasting rooms for all kinds of Burgundy wines with no need to drive. I expect Dijon has the same, but I'm not sure.
Burgundy (centered on Dijon) is probably the easiest wine-growing region to reach from Paris, but just about any part of France, except Normandy, will offer great wine opportunities.
Thanks to all for the recommendations!
