For those not in the loop or too lazy to google, Kosta Browne produces only pinot noir. IMO they make some of the best non-Burgundian pinot in the world.

I am unfamiliar with Kosta Browne - it's a bit out of my price range, judging from a quick google search. One of my favorite, er, "economical" Pinot's is from Mark West. I do know the Willamette Valley in central/western Oregon produces some great Pinot's as well.

Wheelhouse 2007 Cabernet (Napa)

Medium to full body, tannins not too harsh, smokey oak. Not bad at all.

Michael-David Petite Petit 2008

85% Petite Syrah
15% Petit Verdot

Fruity. Dark and rich. Full body. Look out - 15% alcohol by volume!

What I can not believe is CC has not added to this thread. I am not much of a drinker period but I had a few glasses of a Riesling called feet.
I know it's a cheap wine, but at least I can drink it. I do not like most wines.

Schmitt Söhne Reisling

This would be a great wine if you don't care what the wine, or your food, taste like.

But it does comes in a cool blue bottle.

Riesling is real hit-or-miss with me as I can't stand sweet wines but my go-to riesling is Chateau Ste Michelle. The current vintage, 2009, is off-dry IMO but it's a damn good value and easy to drink. This is the white wine that I buy for my friends who aren't alcohol snobs.

Caymus 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Intense flavors. Not as sweet as previous vintages. An incredible wine.
