Variations (ancestors) of this grape were among the original (if not the original) "nectar of the Gods", much regaled in story & song. It is speculated that they may be among the original grape varieties first cultivated for production of wine.
Basic rule of thumb for you, Sparky: If you enjoy the wine & were happy with the price you paid for it, then that is the wine for you. Who are we to deny somebody a bottle of riesling if it is priced at $50, or even $5000. If they want it, I'll sell it to 'em.

Both to the rich and poor, wine is the happy antidote for sorrow. - Euripides.
