It really is. It's incredible how much some of them change hands for.
The tawdry bottom end stuff is fucking rubbish though.

I've not actually been to the vineyard
but I'm lead to believe some of the high-end stuff they make that barely leaves California is OK.

The problem with good US wine seems to be that you can't export it, the makers aren't interested.

Indeed so.
When I go to my father's he has some exquisite bottles. If they can sell all they produce without breaking a sweat why export?

That's not the reason
I don't think. At least with a lot of the smaller places. You can buy their wines, for instance, online through brokers but they won't ship them outside the US. I asked a couple last time I was over there and they went on about taxation difficulties etc. But they have to deal with taxation differences shipping state-to-state so I'm not sure that makes sense
