The Terlano is one I particularly like.

Quite a few make dry versions. It’s not my preferred grape and I haven’t tasted widely for years but there are many good, dry versions in Alto Adige. Elena Walch is one.
I really like the Gewurzies from Pierre Frick.
What? While the wines were never the top, they were a reliable and good QPR for everyday drinking. We used to always have several 1L bottles (mostly trocken or halbtrocken) for when friends came around during the summer.
Yep, the kids were not interested

I had Outlier last Thanksgiving and it paired with the meal splendidly
That’s what I was trying to say but didn’t make clear. Gewurztraminer, especially recently in the Sudtirol, may be made technically dry but some can come off as slightly sweet.
We have had quite a bit of Cantina Terlano, but I have never seen or had one of their Gewurztraminer’s.

Weinbach’s Treilles du Loup is their entry level GZ and it is excellent at about $40.
Zind Humbrecht entry level GZ is about $30 and dry. BTW, all ZH wines have an indice on the label showing their level of sweetness. 1 is dry, 5 is sweet.
Elena Walch makes a couple of GZ. one is $25ish and the Kastelaz bottling is $40 or so.
My Total Wine has Anne de K GZ Altenbourg for under $30 and it is not bad.
Cantina Tramin Nussbaumer. One of the best Gewürztraminer and very well priced at about 30 EUR. I rated the 2019 with 93 points:
Nearly oily consisistency. Very concentrated and powerful, but the rather high alcohol (14.5%) is very well integrated, no heat. Classic Gewürztraminer flavours, lychee and kiwi fruit, roses, balanced by a remarkably high acidity (especially for Gewürztraminer). In a good spot now, but could possibly improve further. Excellent! 93
The Navarro estate GW 2022 on is crazy good. Very fairly priced too!
Maloof.
