Please....Having visited many vineyards in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the US
and Canada (yes, Canada!) I strongly disagree with this statement.

Actually, one of my favorite whites is made in the Russian River valley. I forgot
the name, but I used to buy it from one of my local wine pushers when I lived in
Brussels; he got an allocation of 2-3 cases a year and reserved 4-6 bottles for
me. But at around $20 a bottle, it was definitely not a good value.

Otherwise, I have found most California wines to be overpriced relative to what
you get from Chile or Australia.
