Unpretentious, honest, satisfying sums up both the food and the wine. And, critically, the price; these are not expensive, fine dining experiences, but they're oft the very best. Be it steak frites, or cassoulet, or oeufs en meurette, or a lardon laced arugula salad, the perfect pairing is a fine grained and friendly red, with enough meaty or savoury intensity and structure to match. These are some favourite French reds under $25 we've tasted recently, that slake our longings for France and match our appetite for bistro fare.
Treve Ring & Anthony Gismondi
Every week Treve Ring and Anthony Gismondi collaborate on our Top Ten list, released on Thursday morning, often with a timely theme. If you count carefully the list will more than likely exceed ten names but only because we believe if any wine is tied by a score that makes our list it should be included. We know many of you are wine savvy and can do your own sleuthing to locate our weekly picks but for those who asked: BCLS means it is sold in government retail stores; when we say private wine shops we mean it could be in any private wine shop or liquor retail store (LRS); winery direct means check with the winery online. If it’s not sold in BC we usually try and give you a suggested retail price. Prices change hourly in BC – the price we post is what we are given at publication.
