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.

Some of my favorites are:
Renwood Old Vine Zinfandel
This winery is known for its high quality Zinfandels. It's located in Amador County. Sells for around $18.

Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
This wine is easy to sip...it's nice to have a chilled bottle in your refrigerator for unexpected guests. It's around $14.

Greg Norman Estates Sparkling Chardonnay/Pinot Noir
A nice sparkler for around $16

Hogue Genesis Cabernet Sauvignon
A best buy at around $13

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.
