Jay, Binny’s has the Buehler cabernet for $20 and it is very good.
Broadside would be a great choice. Mondavi Oakville should be in that range as well.
Two words: Washington State
Sequoia Grove
I’d add Buehler Estate Cab Sauv to the mix. Not the lesser bottling, but the Estate. Pretty decent year in, year out. And fairly widely available:

Whatever you pick, I’d suggest this. If it’s a newer release, and it’s “allowed”, I’d open up your bottles and either decant them or let them breath in the bottle / slow ox. Most anything you’ll pick will that’s a current release will benefit from that.
Cheers,
Jim
Jay, you might want to consider taking your own spit bucket !! ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
Funny- 2 are for the blind tasting and one bottle will go to the “winner” of the tasting.
Great suggestions - thanks to all…keep them coming!
I’d consider bringing a bottle of Charles Shaw. Think of the fun you could have if a $4 wine wins the tasting.
Ruston. Consistently well made Cab in a classic style.
The Columbia Crest H3 for $10 should be on your list. I think it’s a spoofed oak-bomb and hate it, but others seem to love it and it is easy to source.
Yes.
