Although many German rieslings tend to be off-dry, they boast great acidity (great with food) and complex character! The other day I had a 2007 Riesling (I believe the name was Pikes from Australia) Highly recommended! If you go the liquor store look for wines that are designated 00. This is usually a good starting point. Also, fruity doesn't necessarily mean sweet! We have been conditioned to falsely assume that if something is fruity, it must be sweet. I would suggest picking up a wine guide of some sort- there is a lot to learn.
