Too sweet..or not too sweet ,that's the question

[Wenams]

I'm trying to settle a little dispute between myself and a very pompous manager in my comany. While interviewing potential hires, she sarted grilling them about Reisling wines. Don't ask me why. She was emphatic that reisling wines were dry and peppery. Now, I've been taught, and also tasted that reislings are usually sweet wines, usually wines that are considered dessert wines. I'd love to get as many opinions as I can..... I hate when people try to intimidate other's with wine knowledge.
