This is a very good Riesling! We had dinner tonight at Cafe Berlin to celebrate the birthday of Lady Brandenburg. Several bottles of this wine were consumed, in addition to many mugs of beer and martinis and cocktails! I'll let someone who had more of the wine give some details of it.

Mmmmm, I love a good riesling! :-)
From a wine novice - in my personal opinion, a good, "real" Riesling is NOT sweet. I am often disappointed ordering Riesling in America because restaurants seem to cater to the "general" public who seems to like sweeter white wines than I like. The best thing about this wine is that it is dry, as (again, in my opinion) a Riesling should be. Refreshing, almost steely. GREAT with filling German food.
The best way I can describe this:
- the sweetness was definitely in the middle - a touch sweet, but generally dry
- the nose had scents of pear and licorice
- worked really well with pork
