I have to say that I've had the Honig Sauvignon Blanc on two occasions(same vintage) and found it to be very bad. I have, however, enjoyed Honig's Cab which costs $30/bottle. Am I wrong or do we happen to have a difference of opinion? It is complete nonsense to bash all wine not European. It is clear that you have a huge bias toward the style of wine that comes out of Europe- fair enough. But, attacking non-European wine and anyone(JohnL) who disagrees with you makes you appear the type of wine snob who appreciates the foreign languages and cryptic labeling that keeps you separated from the rest of us silly Americans. FWIW- My wife and I very much enjoyed a bottle of '05 Castle Rock Monterey Pinot Noir last night. Interestingly(or perhaps not), this is the first bottling(out of 5 total) from Castle Rock that we have thought much of, despite what seems to be a lot of positive press. I paid $10.29 here in California.
