This was the preferred underage drinking/college wine when my mom was in school.
College wine of choice in my time = Arbor Mist. lol.

I'll agree with you. Unfortunately wine is off limits for me due to migraines right not  When I do get to drink, I LOVE Syrah, Pinot Noir, Reisling, Champagne and good desert wines. One of my favorite bottles, we discovered for my husband's birthday one year, is called Torbreck "Woodcutter's" Shiraz for about $25.

oh, so no love for Sutter Home?
I like riesling too. I'm not much of a red drinker, usually a fruitier one. I typically drink red for sangria.
I usually buy Yellowtail, but that's not an expert purchase.

I'm in your time basically and I like both. My roommate just bought me two bottles of Arbor Mist for Christmas and 1.5 left that people have given me just because they know it's my thing.
Seriously, I'm that girl that will just bring her own bottle and drink it all night. Oh well. 
BUT I also appreciate real wine too (hospitality student -I'm slated for a for-credit wine appreciation class next fall) except that I'm in college and can't afford to spend money on expensive alcohol *unfortunately*

When I lived in California my roommates and I would get hammered on Sutter Home on summer nights on the porch, and -wait for it- Sutter Home White Zinfandel... 
I also really like Hamilton Russel wines, they're from South Africa and their Cab is very refined. That's the wine I give to my graduating friends.

Fish Eye

all reasonably if not under-priced. a lot of aussie wines are good and inexpensive.

Recommending wines is tough, because only the ones with large distribution will be available all over the country. Most wines are regional.
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.
