Recommended wine: Riesling, Dornfelder
German works really well with Riesling and Dornfelder. 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. You could try Dr. Thanisch Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

Dr. Thanisch Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese Riesling
Graach is an excellent wine growing village in the heart of the Middle Mosel. The steep slopes of the Graacher Himmelreich vineyard are facing South-West. They are exclusively planted with Riesling.The nose displays a sweet floral quality of plummeria, fresh peach with a touch of petrol character which is common in German wines. Often the more age a German wine has, the stronger the petrol character. There is nothing wrong with wines with this aroma. This 2003 vintage, only shows a slight – medium petrol aroma. Brimful with character, the Himmelreich Spätlese palate is a wonderful mix of peach, honey and mango. The medium weight interplays enticingly with the finely bound acidity.
