Two bottles today.
Decent table wine for pretty cheap actually.
A much nicer bottle.
There really isn't any comparison. Wine is simply driven by budget. Sure you can find "decent" wines for a decent price, but good wine will cost you some money.
I'm happy to be proven wrong.

It is the rare occasion that you find a truly great wine for under twenty bucks...but it happens...and usually your in some hole in the wall joint in Tuscany or Almafi...

Case in point...this local white wine in Almafi went for about 40-50 euro at the higher end restaurants, but we were enjoying it for about 18 euro at a local cantina off the beaten track...possibly one of the best white wines I've had...Fiorduva...you won't find this in the states...

That's a fair statement.
I would also say that there are some poorly priced wines at all parts of spectrum.
My budget is surely modest, but I've had a $100+ bottle that just didn't live up to it. As well as a $12 zin that easily drank like $50-60 bottle. It makes buying and drinking very interesting.

Wow
With all that wine talk makes me want to go back to Napa and tour the area like i did back in 2008.
Castello Di Amarosa was not ever 100% finished at the time.

Must be a new quarter...
Brown Santa showed up with a random club assortment. Decided to whip up some pasta so we could have an excuse to open a bottle.

Nice find. Thanks for sharing. Saved me time having to do research and more time for drinking. [emoji485][emoji485]

Nice! Any chance one of these is from your daughter's birth year? That is a tradition I have with my sons.
