Saumur Les Sablonnieres, 1996 (Dunnes Stores, £5.49). An uncomplicated, raspberryish Loire red at a knockdown price. Serve it chilled with poached salmon as an alternative to Chardonnay at a summer lunch.
Redwood Trail Pinot Noir 1994/5 (some SuperValus/ Centras, Sweeneys Dorset Street and Fairview, Oddbins and other outlets, £6.49-£7.49)
Another unusually well-priced Californian - this time with a slightly burnt edge that makes it an excellent choice if you're cooking the mighty fish on either barbecue or indoor grill.
