Tom's favorite wines with sushi

Craving sushi at least once a week, Judy and I have tried almost everything with our sushi "fix".
Here are some favorites:

White wines need to have a touch of sweetness and/or spice - definitely no oaky buttery Chardonnay or high acid whites.
Alsatian or domestic Gewurztraminer, Alsatian Pinot Gris, Viognier, Alsatian or German Riesling and Champagne or domestic sparklers.
Reds need good fruit, low acidity and moderate tannins.
California Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot, some domestic red blends, Australian Shiraz and, believe it or not, Bordeaux.
And finally, rice wine - better know as Sake.
