ummm I'm a pinot gris drinker but The Ned wines are good across most of their varietals, both DP and I have worked with them.
Kim Crawford reserve is good.
It all depends on flavours that you want. The Sleeping Giant Chards are good although a little bit more pricey, nice big bold buttery.

Mmm, Stoneleigh and Oyster Bay ....
I like Huntaway Reserve chard but hardly ever have it. I've got some Saints chard and The Ned pinot gris tucked away and will stock up on more when it's cheap. I do my buttery chards.
Can anyone recommend a good spicey red?

I like the Marlborough Savs.
Favourites are:
St Clair Sauvignon
Allan Scott Sauvignon
Spy Valley Sauvignon
If you ever wanted to splurge and can get your hands on a St Clair Special Reserve or Pioneer Block I would definately go for it.

I'm a red girl, my fav is a Syrah, but I can't remember the name of it, so no help to you 
Otherwise, I can't go past a yummy Pinot Noir - Mt Difficulty do a yummy one, also Rabbit Ranch do a really good cheap one.
If I have a white I'll go for a Pinot Gris, mmmmm
ETA - DH told me to add Martinborough Vineyards Pinot Noir too
Now I want a wine **DROOL**

Mmm wine!! I like the Selaks ice wine - my fav desert wine.
I also love Pinot Gris forgot the maker of the one I really like but I think they're from up Gisbourne way . Don't mind red wines.
Hate the bubbly/sparkly kind of wines - yuck.
Don't mind Sav's but yeah the first 2 I prefer.
ETA: My gran loves the cheap Riccadona (sp?) wine forgot the type - sure it'll come to me, it's not too bad.

Boo I shouldn't have come in here
My all time favourite is Allan Scott Reisling. Their Sav is nice too.
We drink lots of Cloudy Bay here as well coz it's easy to get and nice.
Actually anything from Marlborough is generally pretty tasty

villa maria sav for me when at home. Not fussy when I am out but generally drink savs and pinot gris.
As for red I normally do a merlot or a cab blend. Wolfblass is one that is coming to mind.
Have no experience in wine tasting just like what I like IYGWIM

For spicy reds your looking at a Syrah or Shiraz Stonecroft or Bilancia which are abit pricey or Yalumba if you can get your hands on it think Barossa Valley in Australia, they generally do some good ones.
Oh Craggy range also has some good ones, the sav is passionfruit and those sorts of flavous, the chard is good and the Merlot they also do your reserves etc.

Man, I live like, half an hour from the Waipara Valley and I soooo need to go on a wine tour :P
