Time for a reality check when it comes to wine in restaurants. Several recent restaurant visits made me feel like a $60 bottle was the least expensive bottle available in America. The reality is much different.

1. Beringer Vineyards
2. Franzia Winetaps
3. Sutter Home
4. Copperidge
5. Inglenook
6. Kendall-Jackson
7. Yellow Tail
8. Burlwood
9. Woodbridge
10.Cavit
11.William Wycliff
12.Foxhorn Vineyards
13.Glen Ellen
14.Corbett Canyon
15.Vendange
16.La Terre
17.Sycamore Lane
18.Paul Masson
