The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now

I'm always on the lookout for good wines at a fair value. Ok so maybe cheap wines that taste expensive. Anyway, are there wines that you've had recently that you would consider a terrific value for the price? I personally enjoy the merlot and chardonnay from Clos du Bois which both cost about $14 in New Hampshire. To relax with a glass of either and listen to my music (classical and jazz) does make the early evening sit pleasingly well.

One of the best reds I've ever had:
http://lecole.com/pdf/Apogee.pdf

At $44 a bottle, it's not inexpensive (apologies to jcbach), but I figured why not mention it, since every person I know who has tried it has subsequently ordered a case. Besides, aren't you the same folks who spend thousands on that hi-fi junk?

Also, try their Semillon. It always gets the same response: "I don't even like whites, but this is phenomenal."

Here are several wines you can find right now, and you'll want to find them again the next you purchase wine (if possible) ... 2003 White Oak Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley), 2003 Foxy Calif red table wine and 2004 Foxy Calif white table wine, 2002 Avery Lane Merlot, AND 2005 Yellow Tail Chardonnay (huge, rich flavor). Lots of great wines, but ALWAYS try to buy USA wines ... first! Failed to do so with the Yellow Tail, but it's a great wine for so little money.
