Pölka Dot Riesling

Pölka Dot Riesling
Germany 2004 - Gallo

Expect the release of this German riesling sometime in the next few months. It must not be anywhere yet ... I can't find it's picture anywhere on the internet. It's a new one from Gallo; the cynic in me wants to scream foul marketing ploy (if only the dot on the bottle were red and not pink), but having never had the German Turning Leaf Jo Riesling, I don't really have the ground to make such claims.
The juice itself is standard sweet riesling. Honestly, Gallo did much better with the surprisingly dry McWilliams Aussie Riesling. Polka Dot is drinkable for sure, but offers very little other than one more quirky choice in a German section (can you say Relax?). There's not really any intensity and there's not really any complexity. My friend Josh liked it because it tastes like apple juice. He's the same guy who really digs the cafe zin.
So drink what you like, right? I'd rather not pay $10 for this, but I'd drink it up if somebody handed me a glass.
And the umlaut. What's with the umlaut?

Edit: Here's a picture I found of this bottle. Apparently it won some design award.
