Over the past three years, prices on Bordeux and Cotes Du Rhone (the overrated Chateuneuf du Pape being the exception) have dropped considerably. I find more bargains from France than I do from Napa, Sonoma, or the Central Coast.

Last time I was in France, I bought a wine from CORSICA of all places, made from the Nero Amaro grape also popular in Sardegna. It was very good, and I am PO'd that they do not sell it in the US.

Even simple burgundies have become (relatively) good values compared to California equivalents. I was never much of a fan of Chateauneuf du Pape, though I’ve had some very good ones in the past six months or so that a friend of mine is negociant for — they’re pricey, though, and I’m glad I drink them as a guest or at price-to-wholesale.
