Good White German, or better from ....

[Innkeeper]

Don't forget the German Rhein Wines. The Rhein (Rhine in English) flows from south to north, so upriver is south. The two most prominent regions are the Rheingau (just up from the confluence with the Mosel), and the Rheinhessen (a little further "up"). These and other Rheins run about one degree sweeter than the M-S-Rs. This means that a Rheingau Riesling Kabinett will taste the same (in regard to sweetness) as an M-S-R Riesling Spatlese. If we had to pick a single German wine to have with a wide variety of German dishes, or just for sipping, it would be the Rheingau Riesling Kabinett.
