Tom73 suggested drinking the wines from where you are, and I agree you should give them a shot. Even if only to seem knowledgeable when you have visitors over!
Sure. I did in fact buy a box of real Zurich Räuschling (from the "Staatskellerei Zürich"), an ancient grape that used to be very common here. The wine was completely ok, but not exactly spectacular (and of course twice the price of an comparable Mosel Riesling).

I used half of the box as gifts to Swiss friends, who already loved it for being from Zurich alone. So local wine seems to make a great gift here.
