At the end of the day, it's way too much to try and keep up with. Got my sister from another mother in Napa who swears by pretty much anything from Duckhorn. To me, Mondavi is way too safe of a choice for all the other options in that realm.
Cakebread has my vote all across the board. They have the Dancing Bear Ranch Reserve that is amazing as well. If I'm cracking open a bottle I'd like to enjoy it. Had a crazy high maintenance girl who would knock back $400 in wine at dinner with a few friends and not think about it. After the first bottle, throttle it back a bit.
