Hello folks

I'm looking for an inexpensive pairing with duck. Under $20/btl if
possible... My first reaction is to go for a decent Burgundy, though
my local choices are limited and decent burugundies are usually well
above this price.

The duck is going to be simple, slow-roasted and maybe have some
garlic.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Personally, I think Loire Cabernet Francs are the classic match with duck,
something like a Chinon or Saumur-Champigny. You also get the added bonus
that these wines are not particularily in style. Thus, you can get a basic
bottling from a top producer for $20ish.
