Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Rose Wine

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and rosé Wine are great choices for Hot Dogs. A Gewürztraminer will be great with your basic New York style hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut. For a Chicago-style dog with sour pickles and hot peppers, you might opt for a crisp Riesling. No matter your toppings, a dry rosé almost always works. You could try Selbach Oster Zeltinger Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.

#95 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2017It’s richer and less minty than usual but I like the richness in this vintage, which can use a little gras; so anticipate a wine with more apple and less spearmint; crunchy stuff. The parcel is called Heel and it’s to the right of Anrecht, from which one of the great trio of en-bloc wines comes.
