As someone else said, the point here is that most California cab under
about $30 just isn't any good. It's an expensive varietal with a high
demand. If you don't want to spend that sort of money then there are other
varietals. A $30 zinfandel is usually a helluva wine. You can occasionally
find a value in California cabs, but that's not a good place to go looking
for one.
