I am a Cab Sav girl myself. Do you prefer your wines a bit sweeter or a bit bolder? If you want yummy but super-duper affordable, Little Penguin is far better than Yellowtail. Blends are also nice for smoother reds. Robert Mondavi is good and often affordable. I also enjoy Menage a Trois. Bogle is very good, but I've only had it at restaurants by the glass, so I don't know the price of a bottle.

There's a quickie. Hope that helps!
