A couple general suggestions would be to explore Spanish and Italian whites you haven't had before. There's really great, and inexpensive, white wine made in both countries.
Some ideas would be to try one or more of the following:
- White Rioja (Muga white is fairly common)
- Soave (Pieropan is a good one to try)
- Albarino (anything from Rias Baixas region)
- Arneis (anything from Langhe or Roero regions)
- Vermentino (La Spinetta is great, but cheaper options from Tuscanny and Sardinia are around also).
