Recommended wine: Dornfelder, Riesling

German on the menu? Try pairing with Dornfelder and Riesling. Beer might seem like the natural pick for German food, but German riesling pairs wonderfully with seafood and schnitzel, while a German red like Dornfelder goes well with beef and game meat. One wine you could try is Heinz Eifel Shine Rheinhessen Dornfelder Sweet Red. It has 3.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.
