I shall start -
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc.
A fine 'sav' from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Wonderful with seafood or as I prefer, drunk on it own! Quite pricey though at around a tenner a bottle.

2 excellent wines there Gres  Chateau neuf du pap is my favourite red at the moment, a bit pricey but well worth the extra |

I have discovered a lovely Barefoot white zinfandel from California.
Not my usual choice but a fine specimen. So good in fact I bought another 3 bottles today ;D

I'm not too keen on wine but a really good Italian white is Rocche Costamagna Arneis from the Piemonte region  I've found this on the web about it if you're interested- tells you more about it than I ever could  'Description; The consummate early summer wine, because it combines clarity and freshness with the beginnings of pear, peach and greengages. It's got good acidity, but is less sharply herbaceous than some arneis - the mouthfeel is soft and full. A deck chair beckons. Drink it with Summery food: peas, feta, broad beans, fish.' |

Going by that last sentence, you hadn't only 'just bought' them  |
