Riesling
just found this quote:

"In a way, sweet riesling is the 'precusor' to White Zinfandel - the wine that "sweet tooth" drinkers sought out before White Zinfandel became available. "

interesting...
I thought of Riesling more as a dry and fruity grape ... well... what are your thoughts?

But I like this one from the same source:
"Note that Riesling does NOT rhyme with Rhine NOR with Wine. The way you pronounce Riesling is Reeee-zling. It is NOT REYE-sling like eyeball. Just like Riedel glassware is Reeeee-dle, like needle, and not Reye-dell like Ridell High in Grease."
