Recommended wine: Riesling, Dornfelder

Riesling and Dornfelder are my top picks for German. 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. The J.J. Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Spatlese Riesling with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.
