Most of my more expensive wines are from small California wineries who
don't distribute. I've got a few bottles of various varietals from
Rideau in Los Olivos, CA. Their wines are expensive $28-$75 but are
just incredible.

I too buy some very nice wines in the $10-$12 range. Seven Deadly Zins
from Costco is about $12 and is a very good Zin for the money.
