Speaking of good CA wine, last night I had a ZD Chardonnay, and it was absolutely awesome. On the other hand, the $15 price tag for a modestly-sized glass in a NYC restaurant detracted somewhat from the enjoyment!

True, but avoid anything from the Central Valley like the plague. The only crap that comes out of the Central Valley is Carlo Rossi and Charles Shaw.

Napa and Sonoma, to say nothing of Mendocino, have a much higher price/quality ratio than anything coming out of Bordeaux or Burgundy these days.
