prices really drop for complete closeouts, maybe under 10 for chards, and under 15 for cabs. to get those deals, one must "know someone"(usually buy direct from the importer in at least 3-5 case lots), and go pick up the wine.
Could you share the names of a couple of the Cabs with me?
At that price point I have recently enjoyed Spellwine Cabernet the most, and at slightly higher 20-25 Mount Veeder Cabernet (I have a bottle of their Reserve 06 waiting for an excuse to get stuck into too).
