My favorite red wine is:

Clos Du Bois Cabernet 2001 Reserve

I also enjoy the Coppola Claret (a rich red). The Coppola should be about $14, not sure about the Clos du Bois, but whatever that costs it's worth it.

Favorite white:

Frog's Leap. ~$25 or so a bottle. So good.

Until you specify red/white it's hard to say.

Generally, CA wines are pricey now, Australian wines are getting pricey, but there are a lot of "undiscovered" wines from non-name regions in Italy and France that are quite good and cheap. Puglia, the Loire Valley and Provence come immediately to mind.

I used to hang around here, and I liked it.

update: I introduced my self to the buyer at the biggest wine store near me. He seemed happy to help when I told him my deal.

In the past couple of weeks I've tried a Merlot (Yellow Tail) and a Cabernet (Black Opal). So he suggested that I try a Shiraz this week and pointed me to Woop Woop from Austrailia. (2004) It was really, really good!

This is a good web site to get familiar with. Especially the forums.

I saw Sideways and thought it was OK. I would have liked some more characther development around the snobby wine guy. I really didn't understand his characther. Stealing money from his mother?

Good movie, not great IMO.
Maddox however sucks. I was shown that site by a student in the High School I work in about 3 years ago. I think that he's a total tool.
