Gloria Ferrer makes a nice Pinot Noir for around $28
Wente Vineyards makes a fantastic Pinot Noir (Relix Creek Reserve Pinot Noir) for around $20
You can tell, I like the Pinot Noirs

Try to find an Australian Merlot or Cabernet-Sauvignon from 2002. My favorite is a Rosemount Estates 2002 Merlot.
I learned a trick from a friend of mine that owns a wine business in CA that 2002 was a good year world-wide. Just about anything from that year (from a reputable winery) will be pretty good. '02 is followed closely by '03 and '04.

Clos Du Bois makes an excellent Merlot for about 25 dollars. I like Ruffino Chianti and it is about 15 bucks.

These are best buys....wines that are worth stocking up on. They cost under $20.
De Martino 2004 Organic Cabernet Sauvignon The Cabernet Sauvignon has been blended with Malbec and Carmenere resulting in a dark red wine with aromas and flavors of blackberry, cherries, and truffle. Very tannic with intense flavors. Wine & Spirits has given this wine a score of 91. ($14.99)
Peter Lehmann 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon This wine is from Barossa Valley, Australia. Some of the best bargains in wines come from Australia and this is no exception. This wine has rich, intense flavors of black currants and a long silky finish. Very nicely balanced. ($15.99)
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars 2003 Hawk Crest Cabernet Sauvignon This is one of my favorite bargain Cabs. It has a nice earthiness along with flavors of cherry and raspberry. Very smooth and well balanced. ($14.99)
Bonny Doon 2003 Ca' del Solo Big House White (Screw Cap) This house wine is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Viognier, and Sauvignon Blanc. It has a floral and fruity flavor. A bargain in a screw top bottle! ($10.99)
Argyle 2004 Chardonnay (Screw Cap) This wine is from Willamette Valley, Oregon. A big, creamy Chardonnay with flavors of pear and apple and hints of rosemary. It has a nice, lingering finish. ($13.29)
Kim Crawford 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Screw Cap) Intensely ripe and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with fresh tangy apple flavors. This wine is a light straw color. Another bargain in a screw top bottle. ($17.99)
Bonny Doon NV Framboise Infusion of Raspberries (half-bottle) This is a delightful sweet wine in a half-size bottle. It’s been awarded 90 points from Wine Spectator and 92 from Wine Enthusiast. Enjoy the captivating raspberry aroma and flavor…this wine is a dessert by itself! ($12.99)

Fetzer has a great Merlot that is not too sweet and not too bitter very middle of the road, which is helpful if you are serving/giving to someone that you don't know their wine preferences...very ticky stuff
