($10): When people complain they cannot find good inexpensive California wine, I point them to McManus Family Vineyards.  They have a consistent track record of producing good, well-priced wines, such as this Pinot Grigio.  Floral with the barest hint of pears, it has sufficient acidity to match it with a simple fish dish, but not so much that you’d shy away from drinking it by itself as an aperitif.   It has a surprisingly long finish for a $10 wine.
