Yeah, I understand. I'm drinking the good stuff now because I've already gone through the cheaper stuff. Plus, I didn't pay for it.
Try Columbia Crest, that's usually what I drink and recommend. They have a few price points, the Grand Estates (suggested retail $11) gets a lot of "Best Buy" ratings and has made the WS Top 100 list many times.
