Since I started the post on the ridiculous Screaming Eagle 1.5 I thought I should redeem the reputation of the Pennsylvania state wine monopoly a bit and provide a current example of the benefit of their purchasing power. Available through their website is Chateau le Dome 2003 for $99. Next best price according to Wine-Searcher: $174.

I'm editing to provide the WA review:

WINE ADVOCATE 93 points: "An impressive combination of 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot from a vineyard adjacent to Angelus, the 2003 Le Dome is fashioned by the passionate, conscientious proprietor, Jonathan Malthus. While quintessentially elegant, it is surprisingly powerful with an ethereal perfume of blue, red, and black fruits intermixed with notes of violets and spice box. Savory, expansive, round, deep, and richly fruity, it is a medium-bodied, long, supple, evolved St.-Emilion to consume over the next 10-15 years."
