I reckon that would be right up there with South American Carignan in availability ...

And distributed where? Seriously, Carl, I'm not picking on you, but for Wine Focus to thrive, we really need to pick a subject wine that's both interesting (okay, Diamond has that potential), and widely available so the whole crew can compare tastings and discussion. I honestly think that DIamond has a problem in that regard.
Okay, let's look at it this way: Wine-Searcher.com finds exactly 11 matches for a searchon the Diamond variety, and they're all Eastern wines lacking wide distribution.

This seems like a Wine Focus problem for me, although this is certainly not to shut down the idea of an Open Mike or even just a TN with extended discussion.

As for price of entry, Clos du Mont Olivet is still quite affordable.
