Dessert Wines

[Thomas]

It has been a long time since I've tasted a Michigan Riesling; didn't much care for it then; too sweet and devoid of the kind of fruit/acid balance I prefer. You are correct, many Americans think Riesling is always sweet and so many producers identify when a Riesling is dry, but with that grape, especially when grown in truly cool regions, dry is a relative term. It could have 3/4 to 1 percent residual sugar but because the acid is so high it will taset dry.

As for the cherry harvest et al, no experience with them on my part.

Re, Tawny: good luck. Tawny isn't exactly what ice or late harvest wines are.
