    Hi all,

    First off I am no wine expert... I don't even consider myself knowledgeable so I'm posting up this to try and educate myself... a little...

    So, one red that stands out for me is a French Medoc, really liked any I've tried... can anyone recommend a good bottle and where to get it (nothing too expensive, e20 max) and can anyone recommend any other similar reds (from any country/region)??

    It's a slightly vague/open ended question so thanks to anyone that takes the time to offer an opinion or some advice!

    I would suggest a Cru Bourgeois from the Haut Medoc from a good vintage. Ch. Beaumont is easily available and there will be loads more options in any good wine shop. Decant for an hour or 2 before drinking

    The Chateau Beaumont is a nice example of a Médoc.

    You could also try Chateau Bernadotte currently €15 in O'Briens.

    And my third recommendation is Searson's in Monkstown - some really good wines there from Bordeaux, some older ones in a half bottle which are worth trying.
