Thanks for posting, Don. This is the Frequently Asked Pronunciations subject. Before internet, guidance was in the backs of conscientious wine books. I think the best, most definitive pointers today are those that link to a sound recording, or use the International Phonetic Alphabet (standard in good mutlilingual dictionaries) which in turn has standard reference pronunciations online.

This favorite topic of food-and-wine fora has a history on eG too, like the long and popular Food Pronunciation Guide thread, which includes many wine words such as Veltliner. (That thread also sheds incidental light on the emotional baggage of pronunciation issues: please don't laugh at this, don't blame me, I feel both smug and unbearably stupid, etc.)
