Rieslings can be very good. I have had some outstanding German wines that we could discuss here. Alas the wine stores around here stock very little. Most stores are more likely to stock German Mueller-Thurgau, YUK! The flip side is that it is difficult to know enough German producers and vineyards to make great selections. IMHO it is about as hazardous terrain as Burgundy, except I know more about the latter.

I am delighted to know that you are sticking to snob wines for your tasting. I used to know the owners of a wine friendly restaurant. They had wine events a few times a year, but I never made it to one. I kept offering to provide some more interesting wines thay they could buy from the distributor, but they never took me up on it.

I drank some 1989er Schloss Schonborn - Johannisberger Klaus Riesling Kabinett that is forward and fruity yet dry. I seem to recall paying around $16 for each bottle, but did not record that information.
