We have a few bottles of more pricey wine that I've never tasted, as we are saving them for a special occasion, so I'll let you know on those!
I usually like cheap but yummy table wines during the week, like Blackstone Merlot.
What's your favorite wine and why? I'd love to make a list of your responses and go wine shopping!

There are some excellent and highly rated wines that are extremely affordable. A great one is Little Penguin Cabernet. The 2005 got an 88 rating and it tastes excellent. Plus it is a whopping $5.99 a bottle. The 2005 Greg Norman Petite Syrah is even better and priced around $10. If you like Italian, Vitiano Falesco is superb and around $10. The 2005 Rosemont Shriaz is also great and affordable. For whites, Chateau Ste Michelle has a variety of great chards, some from their single vineyards. Hope this helps.

Australian Shiraz would be tops on my list, specifically from the Barossa Valley. And if you can find yourself a vintage from 1999 (very rare) or 2002 (still doable) then you'll have one of the best examples of a Barossa Valley Shiraz.
Having said that, my favourite so far would have to be the Peter Lehman Eight Songs Shiraz. I cracked open a bottle of this for our anniversary and it was absolutely the best wine I've had in a long time.
The nose was dark chocolate and plums.
The palate was blackberry, plum and hints of chocolate.
The tannins were wonderfully soft & smooth.
And the finish just lingered on your tongue.
But at $50 a bottle, it's one of those wines I reserve for a special occasion.

For reds I even have constantly enjoyed the Italian wines of Tuscany. i'm partial to any wines from Antinori, Banfi, Carpineto and DaVinci. I purely drank reds until these days (final 3 yrs). back my favorites come from Italy. almost any Pinot Grigio. I additionally am commencing to truly delight in long island State dry Rieslings. quite Hosmer and Buttonwood Grove. all the above are many times below $40.

Pinot Grigio is a fine wine and delicious.
I have come to like the California wines. some of them arenot too expensive and are very good. They make a wonderful Chardonnay; and a Rhine wine.They also make a nice tasting Rose (ros-ay)

I don't go by brands. I prefer a red wine, and I like Italian and German wines over French. I also like Missouri wines over California wines, but that may be because I'm from Missouri, and they are largely based on German wines, and use German types of grapes.
