I haven't tried any of the above kits as I prefer reds, but a recent
Wine Maker article rated the top 100 wine kits as part of an amateur
competition.

The top Chardonnays:

#38 - Advintage Celebration del mondo Italian Chardonnay
#40 - Wineexpert Selection Estate Series Sonoma Dry Creek Valley
Chardonnay
#77 - Wine Art Chardonnay
#86 - Advintage Mosto Italiano Chardonnay

The top Sauvigon Blancs:

#14 - Winexpert Selection Estate Series New Zealand Marlorough
Sauvignon Blanc
#15 - Vineco KenRidge Showcase New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
#18 - Vineco Kenridge Showcase French Sauvignon Blanc
#25 - Vineco Vinterra Sauvignon Blanc
#42 - Vineco Legacy Sauvignon Blanc
#55 - Vineco KenRidge Classic Sauvignon Blanc
#76 - Winexpert Vintners Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

There were something like 1,296 wine kit entries. I have no idea
whether some of the others you listed were entrants or not, but they
didn't make the top 100 if they were included.
