After some contemplation I am considering a Gewürztraminer wash for this one. I don't know if that's appropriate, but I get the feeling that the field is wide open for rind development. The wine should help it develop its character.
I'd like to get linuxboy's or Francois's opinion on washing with wine. Most, if not all, of the wines sold in the US contain sulfites. Wouldn't this kill the bacterial strains, yeasts, and/or molds on my rind? Is there a way that I can do it effectively? If it is possible, can you provide any guidance on wine alone, wine & brine, or wine & water?
