Let me cover for Nancy for now cause I live near the valley (wine country) and have worked for a few wineries in my time as a waiter hence it's a pre-requisite to know my shit when it comes to wine.
Houghtons is very nice, they do a lovely White Burgundy which is very refreshing and delicious. They do very good Reds too and I recommend the Cabernet Merlot.
Sandalford is also very good and do a lovely Cabernet Savignon.
Windy Hill have lovely desert wines that are fruity, playful and have a lovely bouqet. I find they go perfect with a cheese and fruit platter.
Goundrey is further south and offer some fantastic wines in their range and I recommend the Pinot Noir and the Semillon Savignon Blanc.
Mad Fish is fairly new and is also further south but they offer some lovely wines.
There you go just a few of my personal recommendations that I would offer my customers. They are generally affordable cause they are a reasonable price here per bottle but then again I buy my own wine at the cellar door.
