I've never tried most of these wines, and wouldn't claim to know much about wine in general. For the sake of context: I can generally tell the difference between a $10 bottle and a $20 bottle. I imagine I could probably tell the difference between a $20 bottle and a $50 bottle too, but since I've never spent that much (retail) on a bottle of wine, I wouldn't really know. Most of the wine I buy is in the $12-$17 range (in Ontario). Most (but not all) bottles priced below $12 (again, in Ontario) are either borderline or outright undrinkable, to my taste.
With that in mind: the Wolf Blass Cab is one of my favourite "everyday" wines. Certainly drinkable, at least for those of us not in the habit of dropping upwards of $25/bottle (retail). Given that the OP is looking at the classic list to start with, I'm going to assume she falls into that category. Can't comment on where you might find it in Montreal, but if you have occasion to make it across the Ontario border, it is readily available at the LCBO. I believe the regular price is $16.95 / bottle. I often see it in local restaurants priced around $35 - $40, but not sure what
DCL charges for the same bottle at the table. If anyone else knows, please share.
ETA: More LCBO price point comparisons, gives at least some sense of relative value. For those familiar with LCBO pricing, it should also give some sense of absolute value (notwithstanding individual preferences, of course). Take it for what it's worth.
