The two Spatburgunder are from the Pinot Noir grape and would be red or rose wines. The Kerner grape is a white-wine grape, generally not considered as elegant as a Riesling. Pfalz and Nahe are different regions of Germany. The first word designates the village--Bad Kreuznach or Kallstadt, etc. The second word indicates a subdistrict or vineyard. Kabinett and Spatlese refer to the sugar content of the grapes at harvest. Spatlese are "later picked" meaning riper. Spatlese wines can be either slightly sugary or dry but in German often have some residual sugar. Kabinett wines are usually drier. You must have had one of the first two wines.
