One hell of a lunch tasting.....

Arg! You lucky fella, those wines sound terrific.

But what is it with Rieslings??? I seem to have incredibly bad luck when choosing my bottles. 90% of them seem to have that "rubber" or warm plastic nose that is really quite offputting. I know the rubber is due to overuse of sulphur in most cases, but it seems to affect practically every Riesling that I taste. Is this a typical Riesling trait, and if so, I presume it just takes some getting used to?
