Wine’s all relative and the value come in price to quality ratio IMHO. I’ve had several in the $20 - $40 that were outstanding and my wife and I will then ask ourselves “would we rather have X number of these, or 1 $100 bottle of XYZ wine?”

While I do have my limits, price, score, reviews, etc. have not been a key driving factor in my decision making process as to how I ‘fill up’ my cellar.

Every bottle we have in our cellar has a story, where we were the first time we had it, a special occasion, were introduced to the winemaker by friends, or simply bi-products through our visits to the wine resigns of the world....all that kind of stuff.

While we do, quite often attend tastings of other vintners as well as varietals, and are very open to new wines, our cellar is a representation of our likes, our palates as well as our journeys.

Just my .02

Once more thing I want to add...I do not buy Vinted and Bottled or Cellared and Bottled wines that are over $20. I prefer wines that are Grown, Produced, and Bottled, but I will pay for a Produced and Bottled wine.
