Answers:
I am surprised that there was no mention in any answer about New York State dry Rieslings!. I have avoided New York wines for over 35 years, until I took my first wine tour in the fingerlakes region of that State!. What I found was most surprising, the quality of the dry Riesling!.
The only other dry Riesling I have thought were of any quality before were from Germany!. I have since tried many of the wineries from NY!. Like any other wine of any kind from any region or country, some were not that great!. But on the whole,
New York State makes excellant dry Rieslings!.
As far as the Chardonnays, I prefer the French!. The French Chardonnays are named after the villages of production!.
My two favorites are from Meursault and Pouilly-Fuisse!.
The Meursault is a bit more expensive of the two!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I prefer Riesling!. There are plenty of dry Rieslings available that are much better with food than oaky-buttery Chardonnay!.
Two outstanding ones from New Zealand that I had this past weekend:
Kim Crawford
Drylands
also, for (in my opinion) the best dry Riesling try Trimbach from Alsace, France!.
For Chardonnay, nobody does it like the French!. The California and Australian wines are very heavy and high in alcohol!.
Try St!. Veran, Macon-Villages or Pouilly-Fuisse for the yummiest non-oaked Chardonnays!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would go Riesling over Chardonnay most of the time!. The exception is the Naked Chardonnay by Four Vines!. It is a great Chardonnay for a very reasonable price (usually around $10)!. However, for white wines I like Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand or Albarino from Spain!. There are also some good Pinot Gris from Oregon and Viognier from both the Rhone region of France and the Paso Robles area of California!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
We use the ABC rule when it comes to white wine - Anything But Chardonnay!.
Rieslings are great!. A nice inexpensive riesling is Columbia Winery Cellarmaster's Riesling - you can find it at easily at Target, World Market, etc!.
To get a really great riesling, go German!. Piesporter Goldtropfchen and Urziger Wurzgarten are two of my favorites!. Avoid Piesporter Michelberg (not good and will give you the wrong impression about german wine)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Rieslings tend to be a little sweeter if you compare them with an un-oaked chardonnay!. If you like the oak, that adds a different character!.
I'd compare an un-oaked chard with a good Sauvignon Blanc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I always lean toward the Riesling!. Go with a German every time!. Whenever I try a Californian or Australian, I tell myself to go back to Germany!. The others are not bad, just not as good, IMO, as the Germans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
