Great choices on your list. I have always thought that Falanghina, Albariño, Toronttes, Gruner Veltliner and Verdejo are great alternatives for anyone stuck in a rut too.

They ARE and great choices on a wine list too with maybe the exception of Torrontes which has a floral character not everybody loves. (Great with ceviche though!)

Agreed! I think people who like the head-snapping aroma of Sauvignon Blanc might like Torrontes. It’s also great with Thai food and light Indian curries.

Super-chill[ed] fino and manzanilla in summer! Pairs with anything! I'm a Jerez evangelist :-)
