Want a really light and fruity one, which one would you bluemooners reccomend?

Nouveau Beaujolais or any beaujolais - easy drinking and also happy being chilled :)

The thing about wine is to have been there and understand how the climate and process influences the grapes.

Languedoc btw is full of aussie wine makers producing VDP reds that are as good as anything in france :)

I once got pilloried on here for daring to suggest that the lightest of red wines could be chilled. Glad you beg to differ, pauldominic :-)

Absolutely.

In fact I go slightly further and say that the ideal serving temperature for most reds is between 15-20 C so when they say "serve at room temperature", that's probably a bit too warm since room temperature is classically about 22C.

I like campo viejo Rioja and a nice chateauneuf du pape.

France seems to have stopped exporting and certainly any estate bottled Rioja is brilliant.
