Calif Cab & Chard $50 & under

[brappy]

OK, I looked up a couple of the sites and settled on Bevmo. The "under $50" category is still way too large. There is simply a load of great wine for that price point. So, out of the wines you listed, Miner is where I'd start. I believe they also make a viogner. Use that instead of a chardonnay. But really, I could go on and on. If you wanted to slim down your budget, to say $25 or less, then maybe I or others could get a little more specific.

FWIW, on the Bevmo site, they do have Regusci Cab '04 which is particularly great for the price. It's still $49 a bottle, but taste much more like a $75 to $100 bottle.

Good luck; maybe others will chime in tomorrow morning,
