Default What is your favorite under $20 wine?

I'm new to the wine consumption thing, I really enjoy the cheap Reislings, what does everyone else like?

Louis Martini Cab.--2003 I believe. There is a reserve and a regular, with the regular being about $20 (maybe slightly over).

This was the first wine I tried and has remained my favorite since. I finally tried the reserve about a month ago. Definitely smoother tan's and worth the extra cost for special occassions, but the regular is excellent for a low cost.

Been buying for last few yrs - bulletproof choice!

Montepulciano di Abruzzo "Masciarelli" - even 2002 works great. Priced around 9.99. Consistent, fruity, no funny notes.

Yellow Tail, either the Cabernet or Merlot, the Shiraz isn't bad either. I also enjoy Love My Goat by Bully Hill Vineyards, it's a table wine, but it is amazing.
