It is a little hit and miss. The Escorihuela Gascon for instance is
marketed under a different name in the US as Escorihuela is just too
much for US drinkers to say (I suppose). I was trying to give an
impression of the producers because many, like Rutini, have a broad
range of wines from less expensive to costly. The producers that I have
underscored will deliver good quality in their price range.

The reason that I pasted the list from La Cabana is that it is extensive
and represents a broad sampling of wines available at a very fine
restaurant and yet many of the wines listed are affordable at US market
prices.
