ADD boy - Katnook is good, can be pretty pricy tho. Aussie wines from Adelaide Hills are usually pretty good - Sauv Blanc especially and Pinot.
If going for Victorian wine, prolly best to stick to Shiraz. We don't really do a good lighter red.
Otherwise anything from Margaret River in WA is also pretty safe.
Brokenwood whites are nice and resonable, Wynns Connawarra Shiraz is cheap ($15) and nice and their Riesling is also really good. And my favourite, which is quite pricey ($50) is Mt Langi Ghiran shiraz.

IMO not exactly true, I reckon There are some great Pinots coming out of the mornington peninsular of a lighter style. Red Hill estate is a good pinot ( and there Chardonnay in second to none in its price range). Also Kings creek Pinot is nice for a lighter style red.
edit- Also Stoniers Pinot is awesome, maybe a little more $$ than the others mentioned

totally agree on the Pinot Noir call there. Stonier's Point is great, as is Bass Phillip.
there's also some good Pinot Gris being made around Dromana.

Yeah I was wondering if someone was going to pull be up on that. I thought exactly that when i wrote it!!
Vic is better known as a shiraz and chardy region, but the Pinots are good and that Stonier pinot is a fantastic wine, so yeah, i was wrong and freely admit it.
You'll have to cut the leg off a wetsuit if ya want a stubbie holder for an original 'Darwin Stubbie', hmmnn... I think I got an old wetsuit I can destroy, any1 got a Darwin Stubbie??
