We also enjoy the Beringer Founders Estate line...the Shiraz is our favorite but seems hard to find. We buy it and the Founders Estate Pinot Noir by the case and it's one of our usual "drinking wines". The local Stew Leonards (great liquor store, btw, if you are on LI or in western CT) has 5 varieties of Beringer Founders Estate for $8.99/bottle.

We like the Columbia Crest too. Also enjoy Black Opal.

Used to be able to find a great little wine called La Vieille Ferme Cotes du Ventoux but haven't been able to find that either of late.
