Hosting a Wine Tasting

[wondersofwine]

I have served a somewhat sweet German Riesling (Spatlese or Auslese level) as the final wine of a tasting along with a German obsttorte (mixed fruits such as strawberries and kiwifruit in a large round tart with glaze.) I bought the obsttorte from a German baker rather than making it myself.
I also offered an Orange Blossom Muscat from Quady (California wine) once as a dessert wine. It is rather high in alcohol as I recall and so a little risky after tasting a number of wines. As IK said, the normal order is whites, then reds, lighter in body to fuller, but the exception is any sweeter wine at the end as the sugar distorts the taste of wines that follow.
