QOTD: I had a Sancerre recently that did not impress me. It was at a restaurant and I didn’t make note of it since I wasn’t impressed (it was also $47, so probably not quite $30 in a store).

I’ve been lucky on the few $30+ wines I’ve had. Now, my most disappointing $20 wine. . . !

No Rhone or Aussies in the mix?

WA vs CA still very interesting.

Cheers Gary V. Keep up the good work.

Have any bookstores in Calistoga or Napa yet?

Gary, love the head-to-head competitions. How about doing the classic, Bordeaux vs Cal Cab vs Cal Mertage?? QOTD, cant recall specific disappointments for that price range, Im sure there have been many for less and hopefully fewer for that price point.
