Columbia Crest is one of the premier wineries in the pacific northwest. All of their products are quite good...according to my palette ;-)
Other less expensive options are Australian reds, Syrah's. Little Penguin is a favorite - $7.00 a bottle in PA. A bit bolder than the Cab-Merlot. Another is Blackstones Merlot ($10-$13). Discovered it in 2002 and each year they've maintained their consistency. Explore, there are a lot of nice affordable wines out there.
