     If you have a chance, you could check out some New York State white wines.
Otter Hill, Widner, Wagner Vinyards, and Frank Vinyards are among some of the
better known names.  These wines are often difficult to obtain outside of the
Northest, but are well worth it.  Most of them are produced in the Finger Lakes
area of upstate New York.  New Yorks best wines are its whites, and they are
certainly less expensive than comparable French or California wines. 
     Wagner in particular makes a fine and authentic (i.e. not dry like
California equivelents) Johanisburg Reisling.  One label to be careful with
is Bully Hill.  Walter S. Taylor is a very interesting man, and he produces
some very interesting not to mention vile wines (such as his "workers red")
He is a talented artist and illustrates his own labels, but his approach to
wine making is a little excentric -).  A good guide to buying Bully Hill wines
is that the less on the back label the better.  Anyway, good luck.
