For everyday drinking I also try to stay under $10 a bottle, and this is where I find that I get a much better deal from Chile, Argentina, or Australia. I do have some more expensive bottles in my cellar, mostly stuff bought directly from producers in Bordeaux--one of my pleasures is to read Wine Spectator and see how much some of my stash is selling for now. I then point out to my wife what brilliant investments our cases were, to which she coldly replies that I just intend to drink them...true!
