None of the above are inherently sweet. I think they are all
categorically dry. These two are fortified wine:

> Sweet Sherry
> Port




> Dry to Sweet Whites:
> Chardonnay
> Sauvignon Blanc
> [6 categories of Brut listed here??]
> Champagne
> Sparkling Wine
> Rose
> Pinot Gris


Never had a sweet pino gris.

> Riesling


Riesling come generaly com in two varieties, dry and sweet.

> White Zinfandel (gonna try next)
