Cabernet Sauvignon is widely regarded as the 'best' variety, although I am not so impressed with it.
Opus 1 is probably the best and most expensive wider market producer in the US, although there are plenty of boutique producers as well.
Try something from the Milat Winery in CA. Great stuff.
I love Italian wines and you cannot beat a Barolo or a Brunello. These are likely to cost $50 - $100 a bottle or more. Find a 2000 or 2001 Barolo. Some of the greatest vintages ever produced.
Sticking with Italian wines a Chianti Classico is always good and can be very inexpensive. Rufino or Antinori are available everywhere.
Back to America. Try an Oregon Pinot Noir, or an old vine California red Zinfandel (Ridge is a great brand for the Zin). Again, these will have good price points, are far more interesting and will go with a wider variety of foods.
An interesting (and trendy) Australian wine is the Shiraz. Greg Norman makes a nice one. Maybe look for a Syrah. It's the same wine, but not as trendy as the Australian Shiraz.
Maybe someone else will post some good Burgundy (pinot noir) or Bordeaux (cabernet sauvignon) suggestions for you, but French wine is not my favorite.
Stay away from Merlot. It can be a very nice wine, but it bacame so trendy that producers were putting out a lot of crap just to fill up the store shelves.

Ravenswood Zin is a great idea! Also look for Cline. They make Zinfandel, Syrah and Mourvedre, as well as a few other grapes, too. They're widely available and nicely priced. Keep in mind that these wines are big, and pretty high in alcohol. They're great with stuff from the grill. In general, you might want to stick with wines from California, Chile and Australia to start out. Those are your best hunting grounds for approachable, delicious, and easy-to-drink wines that are a great "on ramp" to the world of red wine. Enjoy!

I don't normally drink red wines but my two favourites are:
Chateau Petrus
Opus One
I know that in Canadian dollars, Opus One can range from around $250 all the way up to $600 for an exceptional year. Not exactly sure how much Chateau Petrus is but I know it's up there as well.
If you are looking for good regions for red wines, here are my suggestions:
California: Zinfandels
Oregon: Pinot Noir
New Zealand: Pinot Noir
Chile: Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon
France: Meritage or Bordeaux Blends
