Yep, WW is without a doubt the Napa Cab expert. So I have to second Hotwine's advice.

Also, the wines you mentioned are well known wines which is good but can also be limiting. Hopefully, the person you're buying your wines from is knowledgable enough to to recomend smaller or at least not as well known producers that put out great juice.

Another idea is to figure out what you like, look it up on a map, and find wineries close to those and taste everything you can from that area. You stated you wanted to stay in one area for a while. Learn the area geographically...... this may help.

The other thing is taste as much as possible. There is NO better way to figure out what you like. Good luck and have fun. I would love to hear from you about your discoveries, as I'm sure we all would.

ps. It may be good to stay in one area for awhile, but branch out soon. Variety IS the spice of life.......
