    Dry riesling

    Does anyone have recommendations for "dry" riesling? Generally it is not a style of wine I would enjoy as a drink, but the style seems to match some food dishes extremely well.

    Help me :) A different request from an AFF wine lover......

    Dan Murphys "Decoded" - allowing us commoners :) to make easier choices!!

    Hi all, not sure if this thread/post will be of much interest here, as it seems the prolific AFF posters in the wine sub-forum are well above average in their general wine knowledge, but I wanted to share it as I think it is a really sensible idea by Dans.
