You won't go wrong with a Donnhoff Eiswein such as Oberhauser Brucke but expect to pay top prices. Less expensive (but far from cheap) and quite nice are the Eisweins from Lorenzhofer Karlsmuhle ($67-$110 a half bottle on www.wine-searcher.com). Donnhoff wines are from the Nahe River vineyards and Karlsmuhle is from the Ruwer tributary of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine district. They present different styles but both have their loyal fans.
