I've never (yet) made strawberry wine so I'm not sure of the best yeast to use. On Jack keller's site, he used champagne yeast for two of them.
If I was going to make some (and I really want to this summer, if I can find some fresh strawberries), I'd consider Montrachet, too. That's what I use in rhubarb wine and it leaves a fruitiness behind that I like.
Another thought is cotes des blancs- also good for any wine in which a fruity bouquet is desired. I've used it in dandelion wine that had citrus fruit added, and it was fruity and flavorful.
I think either one of these would work well. Jack Keller's strawberry wine recipes are here: http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques5.asp
Good luck with this, and let us know how it turns out!
