| Sam's in Chicago has Nyetimber. You appear to like lighter sweeter wines. Stick with the Mosel, but also try Leitz Dragonstone. I think that you would like Vouvray as well. Try a Chidaine Montlouis if you can find one. They are usually less than $15. For reds, try some of George Dubouef's Beaujolais. I think that you will love them. Let me know.
