While getting feedback from friends is important, one thing I've discovered is that not all cities have the same access to wines. Sometimes there's just no one distributing the wine you're seeking.
With that in mind, I suggest finding a great, knowledgeable wine shop/merchant and getting to know them. Tell them what you're looking for and let them suggest. Sometimes it will be spot on, other times it will be a miss. Over time though, you'll develop a relationship and they'll get to know your tastes and guide you accordingly.
Meanwhile, how about a great wine at a pricey price? Comte LaFon. Excellent.
