I too enjoy a Riesling, in fact I confess to quite enjoying some of the rather retro German wines, he he!
Himself rather fancies those beers Islay, combination of two rather lovely tastes. He's currently trying to find another stockist of Hive whiskey, his currently fave.
Go for it Hans, I'm not easily upset...or red in any way.
Clover, I think muscadet is minerally, like sucking a stone (not that I've ever done that), Sauvignon is gooseberryish which I love, and I agree about Pinot, a bit bland but very quaffable, my go to wine in a pub.
Never had an Italian red I didn't like, there's just something about them..smooth and fruity rather than heavy and tanin ish, which some French reds can be.
All personal taste of course, but interesting to know how others find the taste of the same wines.
