French Wine

Dear Forumites

I am visiting a relative in Canada and would like to buy some French wine so as to help them build up their cellar.

Could anyone please recommend a few medium priced french wines at around the $30 p/b AUD price that I could try and buy here in Canada.

Your help would be most appreciated.

You might want to ask the same question here: http://www.winefanatic.ca/ (a Canadian wine forum)

I am sure they would be in a better position to answer your question, although you do need to register I think.

Guigal's Rhone expressions ( Gigonda's, Villages, St Joseph ) safe, cellarable ( though sometimes elemental compared to their appellations ) French wines.

Thanks to those that replied.

In the end, I found that there is a reasonable selection of Aussie wines here at the LCBO's. ( the only retail wine outlets that are run by the government).

I bought them a selection of the following.

2001 - 407 and 389 - both for $36 AUD
1999 - Grand Pyrenees CS - $38 AUD
2002 - Wynns Shiraz - $21 AUD

all a bit more expensive that at home, but I also found the 1999 Wolf Blass Plat. Shiraz for $88 AUD and bought that which we'll be drinking tonight with a nice pepper steak. Why the price difference for this wine.
