I've got different favorites: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Johannisberg Riesling and White Zinfandel. A lot, of course, depends on the vintage. I think my favorite winery is the Mirassou Winery just south of San Jose, CA. Love their wines. They have a wonderfully refreshing Pastel that's truly delightful. Use to always bring several bottles back whenever I was out that way.
