The French are best known for ...

French is the biggest wine producer in the world, producing 7 to 8 billion bottles every year. They are most known for buying wine from Bordeaux. Bordeaux is a region of French that is known for making excellent wine, such as Napa Valley in the United States. Most mixtures from Bordeaux are a combination of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

I went to Gary's wine house and asked for a recommendation of a French Bordeaux and they assisted me on buying a great staff pick. This wine is called, "Pierre De Montignac" and its year was 2010. The bottle was just under $15, which is a steal considering it was imported AND a staff pick. The wine was just the right combination of Merlot and Cabernet and went down smooth. I highly recommend it to try it or even give it as a gift.
