Expensive wine drinkers please come in

[Anonymous]

Not too expensive, but have a friend coming to town who likes Caymus. I personally do not like Caymus. I'd like to have something similar. Any other suggestions?

Does it have to be a Cab? If so, Shafer and Cakebread are great Napa Valley Cabs. Around the same price point. They are pretty mass marketed so you can probably pick up at a good wine store.

What do you dislike about Caymus? Are you looking for something lighter, heavier, more/less tannic, ....?

Maybe a nice Bordeaux with a few years of age on it?

I’d just go to a reputable wine shop and ask for some recommendations. They are usually pretty good about that IME.

My husband is French and there were old bottles in the cellar in the parents' house there.

At Christmas, I thought "not the 1963 Bordeaux again". It tasted like sherry. I was happier with a cheap 2019 Australian red.

Is Total Wine not good? The last time I went there and asked for a reccomendation on Pinot Noir, it was undrinkable. So bad.
