Wine Suggestions for $40-$50 a bottle

[creativeingredients]

I would appreciate any help in getting a nice bottle of wine for about $50 per bottle in the Florida area. In Whites, we love oaky Chardonnays and in Red, perhaps Pinot Noir or Australian gamay. Anything that is a 'drink now'.

Thank you in advance for any ideas.

For the oaky Chardonnay, Mer et Soleil, Brewer-Clifton, or Patz and Hall (all from California) or a La Chablisienne product from Chablis, France. For the Pinot Noir, depending on the style you like, you can find Loring Wine Company, Siduri, Testarossa, or Chalone (all from central California) in that price range.
