Re: Need wine advice: good <$30 bottles

It's my favorite wine shop in Napa and stocks very low production California and Oregon wines as well as some treats from the Rhone valley and other nice areas in Europe. I belong to a quarterly proprieter selection order, where the owner picks wines for my wife and I based on our tastes. It's been a couple years now and I have yet to get a bottle that wasn't really amazing. If he can still get it the 2001 Burrton Merlot is AMAZING at $18/bottle. Elyse winery is my favorite winery. The made amazing Petite Sirah and a great blend wine called D'Aventura. Oh, and if you like Syrah, Qupe makes some great ones. For Cab, I'd try Livingston Moffet - Stanley's Selection (that runs about $35, but well worth it). Yummy! Jason

State stores? Here in Pa, where Jon and I both are from, we still have a state owned monopoly on wine and spirits sales.

Almost any Russian River estate Pinot Noir. That must be why the Oregon stuff is good too. Similar weather patterns I suspect.
