  There's an argument to be made for Riesling, and it's made on a regular basis. It goes something like this: Riesling is great, it's flexible and it's food friendly, with wines ranging from dry to syrupy sweet, so there's something for everyone to like.

NapaGirl, note the interesting new (for me, anyway) cab franc ACME's introducing.
