Try Rex Hill Reserve 2005 or 2006 Pinot Gris--you can buy it online. Prices Vary. Also, a nice Riesling is Chateau st. Michelle--if you like sweeter wines. For a good red/blend, try "house wine" made in walla walla, washington by the "Magnificent Wine Co."--try this link http://www.thewinebuyer.com/165166 or google for more info. Hope this helps.

Church Road
2002 Tom
Made from:Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec Merlot
Grown in: Hawkes Bay
Closure: Cork

Brightwater Vineyards
2004 Brightwater Gold
Deliciously bright, vibrant sweet wine with an intense core of honey wrapped apricot.
Drink from: 2006 to 2012
Made from:Sauvignon Blanc
Grown in: Nelson
Closure: Cork

Auntsfield
2005 Cob Cottage Chardonnay
Taste:
Cool impact is filled with mealy flavours against a background of lime fruit and minerals. Mid palate has good texture,some citrus flavours and a warm burr throughout. Elements of nuts and oak show at the finish, which is given the bums rush by high alcohol. Nice flavour hangs on well.

Red wines
* Cabernet Sauvignon
* Merlot
* Pinot Noir
* Syrah / Shiraz

White wines
* Sauvignon Blanc
* Riesling
* Chardonnay
* Pinot Gris
* Semillon
* Gewurztraminer

I would suggest that you try the Ptale de Rose 1998 from the Chteau La Tour de l'vque.
The Saint-milion and the Pomerol red wines are particularly appreciated, especially the Chteau Ptrus Pomerol which is often sold at approximately $1,000 a bottle for a 1989 vintage.

The best way to learn about wine is to trust your palate. Buy a note book and grade all the wines you drink and you will always find one that will please you, which might end up costing you a measly $10.

My current red wine favorite is a Shiraz by the brand name Woop Woop Shiraz from Australia. It is awesome!

Well, i'm not an expert, but depends on what kind you want. My favorite red, is Penfold's cab/shiraz blend, usually about 15 bucks...pretty cheap. White, would be Kim Crawford unoaked chardonnay. That one is pretty hard to find, but delicious.
