Re: I await your suggestions

Well, it's getting increasingly difficult to find any Bordeaux under $15 - best bets are the satellite appelations (e.g Moulis) and some Chateaux second wine. But that is why I mentioned the Vin de Pays. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate has an article twice a year on the best wine bargains and the wines listed are overwhelmingly French. Many of the inexpensive are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from other areas of France. Another suggestion is to try the wines of Domaine de Trevallon in Provence - Cabernet/Syrah -usually around 60/40 and mid-twenties per bottle on release. I have cellared these wines for years now and they are among my favorites. Robust, hearty with plenty of friut - great with lamb and roast fowl. Imported in to the US mainly by Kermit Lynch. Hope this helps.
