Recommended wine: Dornfelder, Riesling

Dornfelder and Riesling 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 Weingut Fritz Windisch Heimersheimer Rotenfels Dornfelder with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Weingut Fritz Windisch Heimersheimer Rotenfels Dornfelder

A very tasty, powerful wine of pronounced aroma and rich dark red color. It has a delicious flavor of cherries, red berries and plums with decent, smooth tannins. Its sweetness is pleasant and harmonic, which makes it enjoyable for lovers of not too dry wines.A delicious companion to desserts and cheese, but also to barbecued and smoked dishes. It is also a wine for enjoyment and a very tasty night cap
