^try a trimbach riesling or if you want american dr konstantin frank or hermann j wiemer rieslings are very good. all are at a good price
2) B&G Vouvray - food friendly and not deadly dry
3) Fetzer Gewurtztraminer. I swear. It was one of the first wines I ever bought. Love it with Asian, anything sausage-y and sweet. Thanksgiving, too.
4) Ch. Mont-Redon CdP. Love it so much.
The "Friendly" Gruner makes me happy, always, too.

I've had this Montepulciano quite a few times and always find it delicious. Medium bodied red. Just enough fruit, not too spicy or complex. It's about 8 bucks at my neighborhood market. Thumbs up.

I love the floral qualities of Cabernet Franc. It's such an underrated grape by itself. The Chinons of France are good, but they don't hit my "pleasure center" like the California varietal does.Originally Posted by HORNS
I like Chinon And in particular those of Baudry and Joguet - really good stuff.

THere's some good stuff coming from the really rustic-- or, at least, undiscovered by wine drinkers-- parts of Italy. Sicily and the boot region are particularly good these days for friendly, large, cheap reds.

I like to try different aglianicos whenever I can. The problem is that they are hard to find and the one I like - Elena Fucci's Titolo is ~40. Would be open to some suggestions if anyone else likes this stuff. Should mention the most popular one I see is the Feudi di San Gregorio.
