Any suggestions for a reasonably-priced (~$15-$20) kosher wine for a holiday gift?

Thanks!

I was pleased by the Teal Lake Reserve Shriaz. I have a glass by my side right now. Price approx $17.

I would agree with rruben1 on the Gan Eden wines. The Syrah is pretty good, and the Orna Chillag is very good (plus its a nice gift, since its a smaller producer and the first female independant winemaker). Tishbi wines are also good, but if you want to spend a little more and get something great for the holidays, get a bottle of the Gan Eden Brut Cuvee (sparkling). Its a rose champagne style, and really fantastic. About $30-36, but one of the better sparkling wines, kosher or not. A great value and holiday gift...

I recommend baron herzog, king david, or kedem.

Orna Chillag is excellent, but might run you more like $22.

Gabriele Pinot Grigio (To tie this into another current thread, I first tasted this wine at Mike's Bistro.)

Great reds that are not so pricy, and are not so well known

Ramon Cardova Rioja Crianza 2002 - around $15

Ramon Cardova Rioja 2004 - around $13

A good white
Barkan Chardonnay - around $13

Noah Cabernet/Merlot blend is outstanding for the price.
If you can still find Gan Eden Syrah, Cabernet, or the Late Harvest Gewurztraminer, it is wonderful.

There are lots, Red or White? Is this person a wine drinker, or someone who would like a more fruity wine? Give me a little info, and I will guide you to your wine.
