Thanks--wish I had your vocabulary for describing the wines. My own consists mainly of "excellent," "very good," "OK", and "drinkable." I guess I do get more imaginative when it's really bad; once someone culled his wine cellar and turned over a few bottles of a white that he didn't want. After a few sips I poured it all out saying "it tastes like pickled lizzards." I am going to have to compile a list of all these recommendations so that when I go traveling I can look for them.

I agree - most of the bottles I buy are in the $8 - $12 range. I usually drink these myself -- a glass or two at night during the week. I have found that Australia Shiraz and Shiraz-Cabernet offer some excellent values in this range. However, my favorite everyday wine is Clos du Bois Cabernet, Alexander Valley. Prices vary but you can usually dinf it for around $12-13 -- if you get a case at store that offers case discounts, it is IMO a truly great value.
