  As there is much talk of red wines, I would add that Robert Mondavi
  of Calif. makes a Cabernet Sauvignon that prices from $12-$16 on
  their 1978 or 1979. It is substantially better than any Sebastiani
  signature or proprietor's reserve wines that I have tried (including
  their Cabernet S.) It also costs more though.

  There is a red wine of comparable quality for under $6/bottle if you
  can find it. Actually there are two different ones, both Spanish,
  from a winery called Torres. These are:

  Gran Coronas Reserva 1976   (but not 1979--maybe other years)
  Gran Sangre de Toro  1976 or 1974 (but not 1979--maybe other years)

  I find these two wines comparable to reds which cost over $10/bottle.
  I've seen these as low as $4/bottle! Lately, I cannot find them, though.
