Jeez, there are so many, but mostly (as the last post notes) far from California. Do yourself a favor and head for France's Loire valley. Especially Vouvrays: try the modestly priced Domaine de Vaufuget (classic sweet/juicy-acidy Vouvray) or the (atypically) elegant, a bit more expensive, Domaine Coteau de la Biche. And so many more--ask your favorite wine guy. AND--Montlouis, across the river from Vouvray. There, you can't do better than Deletang--I recommend cuvee "Les Batisses," 1997, if you can find it. Chenin rules!

jd,
I take it that you are a Francophile too, then.
Ever got plastered on Gros Plant, its the real, reliable, cheap dry stuff from the loire, thats not allowed to be called Muscadet. It's fresher and greener. Never pay much for it. (French version of Austrian "Gruner Veltliner". One night of merriment and you're hooked!Ref your post above, Is this a good substitute for those tales of Yquem?
