"quality," or lack thereof...

**As we all know, higher prices don't necessarily equal higher quality anyway.**

The BIG point in wine drinking that so many miss....

CA, OR, and WA (to a point) are going to price themselves out of the market. So many European counterparts are cheaper and of higher quality, especially in the Rhone-styled wines. Rhone and Loire wines offer exceptional value and have no equal peers IMHO.
