The red selection is rather arbitrary. Bordeaux Blends and Syrah could easily be substituted.
Sangiovese
Nebbiolo
Pinot Noir
Bordeaux Blend/Cabernet
Chardonnay
Riesling
Chenin Blanc
Tough call on the 4th but I’ll go with Sauv Blanc
By cellar:
Top 4 reds

Tempranillo
Cabernet Franc

Riesling

Update. Not much change in the reds.
In the whites Chardonnay catches and just overtakes Riesling.

Thank you!
A very good point. I guess I don’t think of Sherry in general as being “white wine”.
You left out Tempranillo from that big heavy Spanish bottle you liked so much.
These are probably in the proper order:
Reds:
Pinot Noir
Grenache
Sangiovese
Zinfandel
Whites:
Gewurztraminer
Viognier
Chardonnay
Sauvignon Blanc
