As a rule of thumb, New Zealand wines are nearly always reasonably priced here in the USA, and tend to be very consistently and reliably good, especially relative to the price. They do Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs especially well, with profiles that seem to me more similar to French wines than those from California or Australia.

I'm making sweeping generalizations, of course, but it can be a good fall back option when in doubt. Try getting reasonably priced wines at Costco or Trader Joe's if any are nearby to you.
