  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 124

They seem to occupy the middle ground between Two Buck Chuck, which is usually just cheap, and the $10 wines I like, which are cheap and always worth drinking.

• Expensive wine of the month 9: St. Supery Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 124
  Michael Beaulacs tenure as winemaker at Napa Valleys St. Supery produced sensible, intelligent wines.
