As there is much talk of red wines, I would add that Robert Mondavi
of Calif. makes a Cabernet Sauvignon that prices from $12-$16 on
their 1978 or 1979. It is substantially better than any Sebastiani
signature or proprietor's reserve wines that I have tried (including
their Cabernet S.) It also costs more though.
There is a red wine of comparable quality for under $6/bottle if you
can find it. Actually there are two different ones, both Spanish,
from a winery called Torres. These are:
Gran Coronas Reserva 1976 (but not 1979--maybe other years)
Gran Sangre de Toro 1976 or 1974 (but not 1979--maybe other years)
I find these two wines comparable to reds which cost over $10/bottle.
I've seen these as low as $4/bottle! Lately, I cannot find them, though.
