Need help in selecting a white wine

[culinart]

Innkeeper>>>the overoaked chardonnay of forest glen I cant find. So instead i went with this one "McWilliams Hanwood" South Eastern Australian chardonnay 2001. Heres how they describe it 'this trophy winning chardonnay features intense layers of melon, fig and peach flavors supported by complex buttery and nutty characters and rich oak. With a lingering crisp finish Hanwood chardonnnay is the perrfect wine to enjoy with grilled fish, char-grilled octopus or chicken salads'
Any opinons about this white wine from Oz? And by its mere description, is this considered a overoaked chardonnay (like the forest glen)?

stevebody>>>the unoaked viognier from Doug McCrae's Vineyards from WA, apparently we dont have here (at least at the liquor store I go to)
You have described the viognier grape as " heck to grow and no cinch to vinify but it's frequently richer and more voluptuous than any Chardonnay" From that conclusion, can I expect the price to be over the $20 dollar mark....thus putting it into the expensive category?

wondersofwine>>> I looked at the German rieslings and gewurtz but i have no idea what to choose from. The same for the white burgundies. So can you maybe recommend a few from each category?

Thanks all

=)
