If you like New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, then you probably enjoy crisp, acidic wines with a little citrus. Try the Napa Valley Sauvignon Blancs next- Honig, St. Supery, and Pomelo all make great ones. Or, if you're looking to try a completely different varietal, try a blend of Sauvignon Blance and Semillion. This is a French style of wine, it will be a little lighter than the ones you're used to, but it pairs great with many foods.
Other really great white wines are reisling and gewurztraminer, from California and from Germany. Both have a great acidity, rieslings will be a little sweeter, and gewurtz will have a little spice, but each will give you the characteristics of wine that you seem to enjoy.

If you want to stick with Sauvignon Blanc, try either Canada or France. Both countries make amazing Sauvignon Blanc, particularly Ontario, Canada. If you can get your hands on it, try Peninsula Ridge Sauvignon Blanc (http://www.peninsularidge.com). It always sells out quickly and always wins awards.
If you want to try something other than Sauvignon Blanc, but still a white wine, try either Chardonnay or Riesling. My favourite Chardonnay is from R.H. Phillips and is called Toasted Head Chardonnay (http://www.toastedhead.com) and my favourite Riesling is from Hernder Estates and is called Autumn Collection Riesling (http://www.hernder.com).
If you want to try red wines, start with a Pinot Noir or a Merlot. Christian Mouiex makes an amazing Merlot but they don't have a website so you'll need to go to a local wine shop and ask the staff about it. It's just called Christian Moueix Merlot and, I believe, the most recent vintage available is 2004. As for Pinot Noir, anything from Oregon is going to be good.

If you want white wine my wife loves White Zinfindel. If you want to continue with red wine, I like Merlot!
