I definitely would consider Sea Smoke. Get the cheap one (Botella). It's awesome at $25 and it's an interesting story. Also, I love the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Mac Murray Ranch Russian River Valley is showing really well right now, at $27. Peter Michael should not be overlooked. I think Flowers seems to escape my taste buds, I don't get it.
I'm surprised I don't see Leroy on your Burgandy list...of course your US price point precludes the best produces for Burgandy...Definitely checkout premiercru.net...for in stock items they often have the best prices and good Burgundian selection. If you can find a Pommard, I went through a bunch of hte '86 Leroy Pommard and always went home happy. The Robert Chevillon and Dujac stuff always grabs me as well.
