My favorite Alsatian white has been Hugel et Fils Jubilee Riesling from (I think) 2011.

Yes. Sorry, I thought I was answering your question about Sauv Blancs so I thought that didn't need saying. Oops.

My favourite white wines are:

Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Traminer and Gewürztraminer - preferably from the former Grand Duchy of Baden, Germany.
My home region.

German white wines. I used to travel there often and bring back wines and groceries but had to stop travels due to the health issues. Forget the names it is too many years ago.

Definitely France. Dry whites (muscadet, chablis / unoaked chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, jacquere, picpoul, etc.) from Loire Valley, Bordeaux, Chablis/Burgundy, Savoie... but not Alsace! LOL

If we're talking about dry white wines, then I have to say France, in particular Chablis. Older Americans might be prejudiced against it due to how that name was once abused to mean any number of cheap and undistinguished whites; if so they should try real Chablis at least once.

Chablis, like all white Burgundies is a Chardonnay wine. I don't have a great deal of tasting experience, but I've usually found that unoaked Chardonnay wines from the Pacific Northwest come closer to white Burgundy than other American Chardonnays.

Greece, you can't beat a well made Assyrtiko by Sigalas or Moschofilero from Skouras. France definitely takes second place.

California, because I support my elitist, Marxist brothers in Napa.

Seriously, I support California wineries above all else.

I do enjoy a German Riesling or Gewürztraminer from time to time, but you said dry, so...
