I just recently started getting into wine. I mean JUST. Still trying to develop a palette and discover the differences and what I like in wine. I have pretty much stuck with wines under ten bucks. Stories like the one above gives me hope that I can have good wine experiences without breaking the bank.

I think everyone starts the same way. How often do you meet someone who first got interested in wine by having their first glass which happened to be from a $300 bottle?
Not often.
It more often starts with the "baby duck" or Hochtaler stuff and progresses into big brand name testing, then eventually into boutique names carrying higher price tags, followed by the search for local mom and pop wineries that can't be found anywhere else, but cost a heck of a doodle to travel to find.
