I've become fond of all Apothic Reds ... Crush and Dark are nice. Inferno is fawesome!
I like a few varietals, Shiraz being one of them. Malbec is one I like once or twice a year too, and a well made Zin is hard to beat. Super Tuscans have always been my favorite, and the Apothic Reds are close and very tasty - routinely available for $7/bottle. That's makes a great daily quaff.
