karmills: i absolutely would not bother with wine from sutter home or turning leaf. gallo, however, is another story. now know that i'm talking about the gallo of sonoma line, which typically runs between $9 and $12 a bottle. these are generally outstanding wines (especially the cabernet sauvignon and the merlot) and are among the best values in the wine world, IMO. and they make a ton of these wines and they're very easy to find. if you're looking for a cab, try to get the '02 vintage. it might actually be a little more ready to drink than the '01. i've always found their pinot noir and chardonnay to be quite tasty, too.
