Reasonably priced (apx $15 or less) & nice wines:

Babcock’s are great; moderately priced label is “troc” Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Sunstone (organic too) has good Pinot, Viogner, Chardonnay
Qupe Chardonnay
Brander Sauvignon Blanc
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio

It’s harder to find good cheap reds in my opinion. I love big huge carbernets. They don’t come cheap… Usually I can do okay with a moderstely-priced French St Emillion or a St Estephe.

Special Wine: Heitz reserve Cabernet or Chateau Lynch Bages for red; Lucien Crochet’s high end Sancerre is yummy.

When I lived in France there were tons of great wines under $10.
My corner grocery also had a plastic barrel from which you could refill your bottles for about 2-3 francs. It was hideous though.
