It might be like 24$, but isaacs ram is great

Closer to $30, I think.  There is a Recanati for about $25 that is good.  Black label.

By far my favorite wine:
Cardova Rioja (from Spain)
https://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=20192#

You can find the 2009 for like $12 - $13 online. This wine is better than some $100 bottles I have had.

I love this wine.

I always feel that when asking in a store for something good in my price range they sell you the one with the highest profit margin..

+1, an excellent wine (any vintage) although it is generally slightly more than $20 now.  I really like the Capcanes Peraj Petita for under $20.

Some weren't good. IIRC 03' sells for a lot less than 04'

IMO they're all very good but to different degrees.  I cant comment on the 03 because it has been a really long time since Ive had it but have really enjoyed every vintage since then.  06 happens to stand out to many people as the best, although 08 is really good (beware of Shmittah).

Don't want to hijack this thread, but all I was saying in the other thread was, that its easier to find a good cheapish bottle of bourbon compared to scotch IMO.

you are correct, but that can happen to any wine, where one year its just not so great. i have a hard time finding the 08 anymore, never mind the 04

You can't buy '08. As far as I know no store is certified to have had it in Beis Din possesion at Zman Habiur and thus it is assur behana.
