I love some of the Sancerre (France) Sauvignon Blanc and also some from New Zealand (Kim Crawford, Selaks are a couple I like). From California, St. Supery is a reliable producer (under $20 a bottle). It is carried at my grocery store so you might find it there. Austria also produces some nice dry Rieslings and they may be less expensive than those from Alsace. I really enjoyed a Brundlmayer Riesling at a restaurant in Washington, DC.
