Hi Mayz and welcome to the Wine Board. We have two other members from Hollis residing in the same home. Riesling is the most versitle white wine in the world in that it can be made in a variety of styles and levels of sweetnes from dry to very sweet. It is also high in acid, which is good in a white wine. So, for comparable versatility it has no equal.

The easiest comparison is in acidity. There are many whites, but Sauvignon Blanc is very close. Chenin Blanc has a lot of variations in sweetness.

For flavor, it is much tougher. Vermentino from Sardina comes closest to my mind.
