In other words - and we found this throughout Disney World - if you know something about wine and you are willing to pay $45 to $65 for a bottle, there is some terrific stuff. Our issue, though, is that many people aren't willing to spend that much, and they should still be able to get tasty wine for less than $30.
Heck, if you read any of the wine magazines, you can find really good wines for anywhere from $10 - $20 a bottle. My BIL is a sommelier, and he is always giving us great recommendations for great wines.

I was thinking, however, if you and yours easily drink more than one bottle at dinner, then the $40 is more than worth it. As long as its not Carlo Rossi or Robert Mondavi Zinfandel we are talking about.
