Robert Mondavi Coastal Chardonnay - Around $11.00
Not too dry, or oaky
La Crema - Around $25.00
Hint of Vanilla....mmmm mmmm good!
Just read RackJack's answer...Conundrum is excellent, too.
I just remembered Ecco Domani Pinot Grigiot-aged in stainless steel...no oak at all...mmmmm!
Do we really have to reccomend just one????

Having worked in wine retail, you learn that "reasonable price" varies from person to person ... for one person, $7 is reasonable, for another, $25 is reasonable ...
You also learn the futility of making broad, blanket statements about what is "nice" when there is so much variation, between varietals, regions, etc, and two different people may have polar opposite reactions to XYZ grape.
Can you elaborate any on both your price range, and flavors you already know you like?
If you haven't already tried any white wines, or any wines at all, there is no way to for an outside person with an opinion (everyone has them) to gauge what you might like. The best thing to do is to just try different things, particularly as many free or low cost tastings at wine shops or the like as you can. This is a starting point.

I wished I knew whether you prefer dry, medium dry, fruity, or slightly sweet and whether you wanted it by itself or with food. If you want wines that could go with food or stand alone, these wines are very versatile: Fetzer's Riesling or Gewurztraminer. Both are have some sweetness that goes well with spicy food or just watching TV. If you need a dry white, try their Chardonnay. It is good as a stand alone or with fish, chicken, or white sauce pasta dishes. All are at a reasonable price and have a high reliability factor year in and year out.

That depends on what you consider "reasonable". In my opinion, you have to spend 8-12 dollars for a decent white wine. If you like Charodonnay, you could try Kendall Jackson, La Crema, Cambria, Toasted Head,BV or Hayman and Hill. If you like Pinot Grigio Cavit is not too bad, and it's even cheaper.
As far as Chablis or Reislings go, they are a lot cheaper, but really, really sweet, and too me, they taste awful!

You might try Ruiniti Blanco or Emerald. Both are reasonable and a good wine with a meal or just to drink. I like a chardonnay too.

I agree about the "Two Buck Chuck" wine at Trader Joe's!
Also, for an affordable chardonnay, do give Jacob's Creek a try at about $7/bottle. It's Australian and definitely passes "the shudder test"

If you have Trader Joe's stores where you live, check out Charles Shaw wines. $2-$3 per bottle, and it's not bad wine at all. It's not gourmet, but if you're asking for wine recommendations on Yahoo Answers, you're probably like me and will never taste the difference. At that price, you can throw it away after one sip if you don't like it.

My favorite white wine is sauvignon blanc. It is very dry and sooooo tasty. Sutter Home makes a reasonably priced bottle.
