This is mostly for KC.

Boy are you missing the boat. German Rieslings are among the greatest most interesting wines in the world of any color. They will live longer than most reds, even the Spatlese and Kabinett. It's the good acid levels. They gain amazing complexity with time. The 1971s and 1983s are still incredible if you can find a bottle that has been well stored.

Don't discount them for use with courses other than dessert. They work wonderfully with cream or butter sauced fish dishes. They are great with salad courses especially if the salad has fruit. Also perfect with pork and ham.
