2005 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Josephshöfer Riesling Kabinett

[dananne]

I know what you mean. While I'm glad that more people are drinking wine, if I had a dollar for every person that told me that they only like Yellow Tail, I'd be rich enough to not only afford DRC, I'd be able to drink it every night.

Regarding the wine, I notice that you like your German Rieslings. In the past, I've tended more to the WA ones, primarily because we know many of the wineries up there, and we've tried before we've bought while visiting them. At home, I'll often glance at the German ones at the wine shop, but never end up pulling the trigger. Part of it is that we don't drink whites very often, but another part of the reason is that we're unfamiliar with the more reliable producers, and I hate taking a flier on wines that I'm not familiar with. Do you have any reliable, consistent, and widely-available favorites in the sub-$30 price range that you'd recommend as a good starting point?
