Riesling

I like a dry Riesling but unless the bottle states "sweet" or "dry" on the label I have no clue as to its contents. Is there a way to determine the sugar level of Rieslings.

Alsace Gewurztraminer (reply To Your Question)

The wax is a plug & does not cover the top of the bottle. The cork is actually below the top of the bottle about 1/4 inch to allow room to insert the coin shape piece of hard wax which has to be pried out of the bottle. The producer was Zind Humbrecht. Thank you for your time & expertice. Dr, Donald Holzberg

Correct Pronunciation For Verdelho

At a recent wine tasting we were challenged on the correct pronunciation of Verdelho. I had been told it is Ver-day-o and that the "lh" are pronounced like a Y. Others insisted that it is Ver-del-o and that the 'h' is silent. Can you please let us know which is right. Thanks!

Unopened Wine Bottles Were Washed In Dishwasher

Please help: 2 "smart" employees decided to wash some bottles of new, unopened, refrigerated bottles of wine that had mold on the outside of the bottles. 15 of the bottles became uncorked about 1/2" or less. When I became aware I was shocked that they did this. I never thought anyone would put them through the dishwasher... What happens to the wine now. Obviously I can't use them now. What about the bottles that are still intact?
