I’d agree that my favourite reds are from Argentina. I love Zorzal. I tend to use Vivino and their wine quickscan to view a bunch of wines I’m choosing between.
For American wines, I like Pinot Noir, but I find you usually have to spend a lot to get a decent bottle other than Ballard Lane, which I love and is at a decent price.
For something cheap, I love a Spanish Tempranillo or Garnacha.

It's really frustrating how much we have to pay here for American wine. You can get fantastic California pinots at Costco in US for 10-12 dollars. The best value for US Pinot I have seen here is the Central Carneros Pinot I got at Coop on sale for 27 and the Belle Glos Clark & Telephone at Costco for about $35.
For Spanish, Volver at Costco is excellent at $20.
I use Vivino as well. In addition to ratings, I use it to log and keep track of my collection. It also recommends food pairings for you.
