Generally I like a slightly buttery chardonnay with a bit of oak to it. But I also love a good Sancerre. There is an Italian grape called "Grillo" and another called "Vernacchia" that are also great. There are a lot of Spanish whites too, and Portuguese, that are worth investigating.
A Chardonnay is really good. White sparkling wine is also pretty good.

For many years, I've been enjoying aged or vintage Chardonnays. Recently, I've been taking a liking to Viognier. Non-aged Viognier varieties have crisp, fruity flavors that appeal to my taste buds. I actually drink red wine more often than white wine. I'm more into Zinfandels. However, I will try highly-recommended Chardonnays. I "stumbled upon" Viognier by myself only a year ago. No regrets.
Meanwhile, I posted these years ago and found some opinions to be quite helpful:

I'm not much of a white wine connoisseur. I never order white wines. They're okay, but I prefer reds.
My wife and I used to go to a particular wine tasting event twice a year and some of the whites were quite good. We use to buy a few bottles because my wife likes them more than I do and because, when they are chilled, they can be really refreshing on a warm day.
I guess Sauvignon Blancs can be quite tasty. A high quality Chardonnay can be great. I like Pinot Grigio and Semillon. I don't like Rieslings or Gewürztraminers, although I've had some late harvest Rieslings that were fantastic. I can't think of any others, but you mentioned blends. A great blend can better than a pure varietal. I'll bet some white blends are amazing.
Cool loves2learn! I’m not much of a drinker but I personally love the Martinelli’s line of sparkling fruit juices. Delicious 😋 Nonalcoholic though but it’s not like juice for grade school children, they do have very crisp and sophisticated flavors.
I normally prefer red but I do like a glass or two of white occasionally. I like a nice Gewürztraminer (particularly from Alsace), dry riesling or viognier. I used to love New Zealand sauvignon blanc but drank so much of it that I eventually got sick of it and can't really drink it any more. I've had white rioja a few times which can be pretty interesting and makes a nice change as does Albariño. I recently had a New Zealand blend of Gewürztraminer, riesling and pinot gris which was delicious.
As far as French wines go, Montrachet- a famous white Burgundy, is my fave for a rich oakier wine, Sancerre & some New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs (Cloudy Bay) are my favorites. Napa makes some great whites like Grgich Hills. As far as Sparkling wine goets, the French have a lock on them with Pol Roger, Billecart Salmon
I don’t know enough about wine to answer but I like Jackson Triggs ice wine, it’s comes from a vineyard around 1-2 hours from my house.
Not much into wine, and i enjoy red wine over white. More of a beer guy
Dry Chardonnay is the only white I like. I'm mostly into Merlot, Cabernet, and Barbera. Syrahs is an okay red.
Smirnoff Grape wine cooler.
I do not like the taste of wine.
Sauternes or icewine
I want to get a bottle of demi-sec champagne and I have sampled a moderate quantity of regular champagne from the bottle of Dom Perignon that I don't remember from my 17th birthday to G. H. Mumm which is a decent drop
I like the kind that tastes like water and is water.
Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer, and Riesling. Boring right? I usually prefer reds. 🍷
Viognier is my favorite white, but isn’t ubiquitous in my area of the country. So I go with a Sav. Blanc.
Sauvignon Blanc. Most of which are totally dry. If I'm in the mood for a semi-sweet white wine, then probably Johannesburg Resiling.
We really like Barefoot Riesling

Not big on white wine but i did remember liking White Zinfedel a lot
When i quit drinking i went from liq/beer to wine for awhile & i bought random red & white at Bevmo after my graveyard shift. So i can't say a favorite but i did like white cause i passed out quicker.
I like Riesling Eiswein [frozen grape harvest] to fish or duck meat. However we don't drink much wine, it's just a gimmick for classy dinner with decoration and candles.
Viognier or pinot grigio. I'm personally not a Chardonnay fan.
I mostly do not care if it is local, I generally like Riesling/Sauvignon.
