Oh, there are definitely worse and better Rieslings and Gewürztraminer.

Look for a Riesling with the word Kabinett on the label. There are different 'grades' depending on the sugar acid ratio in the wine and Kabinett is the highest rating. The flavors in a good Riesling are quite subtle. A good Riesling must be consumed the day it is opened. Even 8 hours later it has lost a lot of its subtlety.
