Rieslings from Alsace, article by Jancis R.

Lots of food for thought after our recent dry Riesling discussion here.

One of the ironies which Jancis does not address is that Alsace seems to be drifting sweetwards while the Germans are (re)discovering dry. I hope that the Alsatians realise that this is a false route commercially. It would also be nice if more than a handful of their producers gave sweetness/dryness information on their labels .

Nice enough article, though the one-liner on Austria misses a chance to expand on an important point. If you want reliably dry Riesling, then Austria is really your place.
