I also love Sauvignon Blanc, White Bordeaux, and the like.  May I suggest in
the "economical yet excellent" category:

1984 Parducci (Mendocino) Sauvignon Blanc (~$5.50) +++
198(anything) Konocti (Lake Co.) Sauvignon Blanc (~$5.00) ++++
198(anything) Mondavi Fume Blanc (~$7.00) ++++ (the inventor of "Fume Blanc")
1983 Clos du Val Semillon ($7.00) ++++ (well worth the extra $)
1983 Karly (Amador Co.) Fume Blanc ($7.00) +++
198(anything) Chevalier De Vedrines (Bord) Sauvignon Blanc Sec ($3.50) +++

Also, many good buys are available from the Loire in the $5-$7 range from
Sancerre or Pully Fume, but styles vary and distribution of particular
growers is likely to be limited.  Buy a jug and try it that night; if you
like it, go back for as much as you'll use in the coming year: there won't
be any more next month!
