How to choose a good, cheap red wine

Thanks for the great info on red wine, which is my favorite! Actually Petite Sirah is my favorite favorite, it's nice to see someone who knows about it (I'm so used to hearing "Petit Whaaaa?")

Despite living not too far from Napa, my red wine knowledge is pretty dismal (I know enough to know that I can't manage to get down Two Buck Chuck), so I think I might actually print out what you wrote for future reference. Or possibly write it on my hand so I can impress people at dinner with newly acquired wine knowledge.

Do you have a list of your favorite Petit Sirahs? I do so love the Stag's Leap, but it's kinda pricey.

What gives? There's nothing there but an asterisk!
