Gruner Veltliner is my favorite with Sushi but a dry New Zealand Sauvignon blanc or a dry French rose would work too.

I would recommend a crisp, acidic white wine from a cooler climate, such as a Pinot Gris, Grüner Veltliner, Soave or Tocai Friulano.

Grüner Veltliner is an Austrian grape variety, not German.

Corrections and clarifications 2011

April 22 at Crush Wine & Spirits: not a dinner but a free, “epic” (their word) tasting of Gruner Veltliner from producers including Nikolaihof, Prager, FX Pichler, Brundlmayer and more … (Unlike the others, no producers on hand for this event.) 5: 30 – 7: 30.
