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

[Thomas]

In addition, Rieslings produced in New York State (second only to Germany for this variety) run the range from dry to disgustingly sweet.

Generally, Riesling has so much acidity that a bone dry one takes some getting used to. But the common American belief that Riesling is always sweet is based on ignorance that stems from the stuff Germany sent to our shores in the 1970s, because that is what Americans wanted then. The irony is: that Liebfraumilch isn't produced from Riesling.
