Can anyone recommend a replacement for Jura Yellow Wine?

This is for "Walnut Tartlets with Blue Cheese and Jura Yellow Wine" from a French bakery book.: Eric Kayser's New French Cookbook (he uses a blend of whole grains rather than all processed flour.)

I LOVE that he uses primary color to describe the wine....much like I used to do when ordering "pink wine, please". This was before I become sophisticated and learned to order by name: Boonesfarm Strawberry Hill.

I think you could probably use dry sherry. See this description from Wikipedia...

Vin jaune (French for "yellow wine") is a special and characteristic type of white wine made in the Jura wine region in eastern France. It is similar to dry fino Sherry and gets its character from being matured in a barrel under a film of yeast, known as the voile, on the wine's surface. Vin jaune shares many similarities with Sherry, including some aromas, but unlike Sherry, it is not a fortified wine. The wine is made from the Savagnin grape, with some of the most premium examples coming from the marl based vineyards in the Château-Chalon AOC.
