Penguin_Gal likes big, California Cabs. Pricey, too!
The Silver Oak is the most readily available and lowest priced of the list presented at $75/bottle. Going to the Alexander Valley release party next Saturday?
Opus One is $125/bottle at the winery. It's around many wine shops, too.
Bond Matriarch is the "down label" (sic) for Bond at about $90 a bottle if you can find it. This is the second venture from Harlan Estate, which is another cult Cab that sells for about $250 a bottle if you can find it.
Screaming Eagle? Probably the original tiny production, cult Cab. I had a '97 once. It was big and powerful. My Silver Oak '93 was drinking better at the time. Still, impossible to find.
There are so many good wines out there. Usually the best ones are the most expensive.
For some reasonably priced, tasty wines, I would recommend the following:
Rochiolli Sauvignon Blanc
Scherrer Chardonnay
Merry Edwards or Russian Hill Pinot Noir
Rafanelli Zin
Silver Oak Cab

More info needed on this one, please!
Depends on whether you are going to eat (dinner or hors d'oeuvres), whether you like sweeter or drier, prefer white or red or rose. So much wine; So little time!!
Wine pairing is quite an art and it should always be done with those factors in mind.

Chardonnay by Kendal Jackson ,best year produced in my view 1985 . But over all I feel that any Kendal Jackson is a great wine.
