The Little Penguin. For some reason Australians can make really good wine that is super inexpensive. I usually get Cabarnet. It'll cost you a whopping $8. It really tastes like a $30 bottle of wine.

J. Garcia Cabernet Sauvignon 2001, under $20. I love cab and this is wonderful!

I like this McManis Pinot Grigio, but I haven't tried very many.

Other whites I like are Bonny Doon Pacific Rim Riesling (great with spicy asian food!) and the Coppola Bianco.

Some of my favorite reds for under $15 or so are: Jest Red, Big House Red, Rex Goliath Pinot Noir, Cline Cellars Red Truck table wine, Twin Fin Shiraz, and Fat Bastard Syrah.

I usually have good luck with the following Australian wines (I like a lot of the blends, like Cabernet-Grenache, but the single varietals are good too): Penfolds, Yellow Tail (insanely cheap and still yummy), Rosemount, and Thorne-Clarke.

And right now, I cannot get enough of this Ravenswood zinfindel called Zen of Zin. I think this one is about $13, but it's really really good!

I wine!

One of my favorites is Rock Rabbit Syrah. It's about $11 a bottle and it's faaaaaaaaaaabulous! I love it!

I like pinot grigio too but lately I have been drinking "Black Swan Chardonnay/Semillon". It's Australian and so damned delish and smooth and very reasonably priced.

I am not a red drinker cause I get those same headaches but hubby likes their Shiraz/Cabernet.
