Sweet Wines

[rchhchan]

Hi
MsJigga
I must say we are considered to be oddballs because sweet wines seem to be out of fashion. The wind of change has brought the whole world going for the bone-dry style since 1970. The king of whites is the extremely "bitter" Chardonnay. People either drink it or the very sweet dessert wine like the French Sauternes and nothing in between. The truth is some of the low alcohol, fruity, mildly sweet, refreshing, well balanced wines are amongst the tastiest in the world. The German emphasis is aroma, finesse and taste. The others e.g. French, Australian are more into power and strength. Some of the top German wines:
Riesling Spatlese or Auslese by names like Robert Weil, Gunderloch, Fritz Haag, Dr. Lossen, Franz Kunslter and those mentioned by wineguruchgo are great as well. Believe me, when it comes to spicy Asian cuisine like our HOT Singapore chili crabs, nothing comes close to a good bottle of the humble German Riesling. It can really put out the fire in your mouth.
