You can get a good bottle of wine in the US for between 10 and 20 dollars. You just have to be into wine to know what is a good buy and what isn't. I am not, my parents however are. Though they do also get cases of 50 - 75 dollar bottles.

That's true, but that's the problem for someone like me. I don't know enough about American wines to know what is good and what is not. Most Italian enotecas use reasonable wines even for refills.

If you go to an actual wine shop, not a liquor or grocery store, the people can usually make recommendations for your price range, and many times they'll have employee favorites or recommendations from magazines such as Wine Spectator listed in view.

Ah. You can actually trust them? I'm not used to that kind of thing, being Belgian and all.

Actually, believe it or not, but Maynard James Keenan's wines fromhis vineyard are actually very very good, and they are reasonably priced.

I just picked up a bottle of 2008 Caduceus 2008 Sangiovese Kitsune red goes for about 50 bucks a bottle, although he does have some lower priced wines which are very good as well for around 25.00 a bottle.

His vineyard is in Arizona, and he just started putting out his 2009 white wines

I don't know much about the Wine scene but I'm pretty sure Sonoma and Napa valley which are very close to me are world renowned for the "Wine country" out there.

Swag would probably know more.

Napa valley was the answer to a crossword question I did today.

Crosswords?! really?

What's wrong with that? It's one of the ways I kill time at work.

I prefer little local wineries. There is one nice place around here that has a white named Tears of Gettysburg and a red named Rebel Red, both $18 a bottle. I haven't had many award-winning wines before but those are very good, certainly my favorite.
