Costco has a surprisingly good selection of wines.
The wines my wife likes: - 7 Deadly Zins - Menage a trois She loves the pinot noirs, but generally drinks whites during the summer. She's been drinking Cupcake (about 8.00/bottle at Costco). |

Sutter Home produces some pretty good reasonably priced red wines in Napa, CA.

Then you're not much of a drinker, friend. You need to start turning back those bottles until they bubble! Call me when you get up to 2 bottles a night, and we'll go drinkin'.

I've had cheap and not so cheap. Only one I can remember. Robert Mondavi 1997 Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. We had a bottle in Las Vegas that we paid $150 in 2000. We bought another bottle in 2005 for $200.
It was a special occasion and a very special wine. |

I have a wine-tasting contest format that I have done at many gatherings. I ask people to blind taste four or five wines ranging in price from $5 to $100, then rank the according to which is the most expensive. The $10-15 dollar stuff wins almost every time.
Another point that should be made in this thread is that when you purchase wine in a restaurant, you are usually paying 3X the retail price. |

However, I have to say-the right Sommelier can make or break a dinner.

Good thing I don't have much of a palate for wines. I might have had to spring for something with a cork. I also picked up a box of Oak Leaf Cabernet Sauvignon. It, too, is not bad. |
