Yes, unfortunately it's true that many uneducated people & wine lovers associate all German wine with sweet & cloying. Which is probably a result of the over hyping and promotion of the infamous Liebfraumilch wine and its popularity and then decline and most people's aversion to it.
We have made great strides of progress over the past 30 plus years in getting away from mainly doing sweet wine, but alas old stereotypes die hard. But its great to see you posting about eiswein, yes its not a Canadian things as many people would think and I believe we can hold our own against the Canadians and others doing eiswein.
I hope I can find a bottle where I am and I looking forward to reading your posts again soon.
