that's cheap enough for me to give it a go if I ever see it on shelves or find myself near the winery. thanks, GG.

Grafs, production is small, so you probably won't see it shelves. I know you can order online.

Well I suppose it was John Duval but as he's now making waves all over the place not sure it counts any more. Now just waiting for the price rises

He makes Sequel for LongShadows, but I'm not sure how "non-famous" they are these days.

No Hollow, I don't get those emails for good reason. But of course, since you pique my interest I have to check it out. Now a mixed case is pending. Thanks a lot

I resisted, but was seriously tempted at 50%+ off...

Those are two of my favorite wines of theirs, and one of the last vintages Trey was doing the winemaking.

I've got several in the Languedoc that I have visited personally, and have put into the CellarTracker database, and seem to be the only one having wines from those producers. How's that for non-famous? Domaine Plo Notre Dame, Chateau Rives-Blanques and Domaine de la Borie Blanche spring to mind immediately. Excellent wines!

Ah - the languedoc - for that I would also mention Chateau Pennautier - cheap as chips and very nice stuff

Bdx - Chateau Liversan (the in-laws have hundreds of bottles of this stuff) - good QPR quaffer

Champagne - Prevoteau - a 13 euro bubbly that is very good quality

WA - Steppe Cellars. Nice mix of whites and reds, with nothing too over the top. My favorite is their Bordeaux blend called Artemisia, of which I own 67% of the CT listed inventory, 2 750ml bottles and 1 magnum.

OR- Ayres. New find for me, great Pinots, great QPR, great people. subtlet, De Ponte is a close second for us in OR.

VA - Cave Ridge. Best Cab Franc I've tasted from Virginia or anywhere else.

His TSW Reserve Shiraz is better then most!

I just started drinking Zaca Mesa wines and love their reds.

I still remember that Tim Smith your brought to our CdP dinner a couple years back -- I thought it was excellent! Nice to see you here, John. I hope you stop in here more often.
