French wines in Europe are very overpriced. A $80 - $100 bottle there is like a $20 bottle of Californian.
 
And the last one of the little orange kitty, which makes me smile despite its blurriness.

Definitely. Wine was super cheap in Portugal. I generally paid about 5 euros for an every day wine and it was delish. I remember once grabbing the wrong bottle from the shelf and accidentally buying a 12-euro bottle. It was fantastic.

On our last trip to Sonoma we joined a wine club. I am not a joiner. The only thing I've joined in the last 20 years has been Costco. But these wines were just so good, I had to join. Interesting, it was a Spanish vintner who also imported their Spanish growing techniques to Sonoma. Unlike California vineyards are precision planted and pruned. The Spanish methodology is to allow the vines to grow much more wild and natural. This ends up with smaller but more flavorful grapes.
