Funny you should mention the wine frig., I did a search last night thinking it would be a cool gift for my wife and I for Christmas, I ended up buying this one wine cellarWith an additional $25.00 off from Amazon, I thought it was a pretty good deal.

I have a friend in town who sells appliances out of a small shop, no big box store. I was looking at that exact fridge last year for another friend. The appliance store could not get rid of the things, no one was buying, so they priced them at cost which sad to say was a mere $199 Cdn.

Wow, I guess he should have put them on Amazon, the wine refrigerators seem pretty popular this year, many of the models were already sold out, the one I purchased was one of their bestsellers.

Drew, there may be some good suggestions for cab savs already in this thread, but if you want to start with a quality wine at a reasonable price, the Robert Mondavi Woodbrige cab is around $13 Cdn (so less USD) and excellent for its price. Another good cab standard is Wolf Blass Yellow Label. They are big sellers, popular, but they are lovely quality performers for their price.
Painter Bridge is a Californian zin that is similarly priced and quite lovely.
Best cab i've had yet to date, a 1994 Lindemans Coonawarra. Hard to find now.
Me and my fiance just tasted Wolf Blass yellow label and it is our favorite kinda on the sweet side though. Thanks for the recommendation.
Drew

Catena is another good Malbec from Argentina. The 2003 in particular. They are about $20 per btl.
Come to think about it, I've been finding several good wines from Argentina and Chili lately.
