Need sage advice!

2001 is an excellent vintage for German wines. I suggest some Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wines at different levels-Kabinett, Spatlese, and Auslese from perhaps Wehlener Sonnenuhr or Urziger Wurzgarten or Ockfener Bockstein. J.J. Prum, Christoffel, and Willy Haag are among the top producers. For variety, maybe Muller-Catoir Mandelring Scheurebe (a hybrid grape only partly Riesling). Kurt Darting is another German producer developing a following in the States or Leitz (Rheingau wines). Eiswein or Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) are expensive dessert wines from Germany and Austria or elsewhere that can be delicious now or after twenty years.
