These days, almost all the wine I drink is from Washington. With about 600 wineries in this state now, there's not even enough time to get around to all of them. Chateau Ste. Michelle is our biggest and oldest winery, but we have many that produce 90+ points wines.
My "go-to" wines right now are the Ethos Merlot by Chateau Ste. Michelle and any red wine by K Vintners/Magnificent Wine Company (particularlly the K Syrah and House Wine). I also like Rhone (French) wines, because they feature a lot of Grenache, which is one of my favorite varietals right now.
I don't like sweet wines, so I'm not a good judge of those.

Chateau Ste. Michelle puts out a good product. I'm a huge fan of Cote du Rhone and Cote Rotie Wines. My husband loves Burgundy...I'm not a fan. Just taste watered down to me since I really like robust, California wines. He says I'm a Philestine!
