Our favorites were Eins-Zwei-Dry and the 06 Magdalenenkreuz Spatlese. Riesling is a great food wine. The main flavor in the food cancels out the corresponding flavor in the wine so you taste different dimensions with each bite/sip. For instance, I had a Riesling recently with a dish that included a cheesy potato gallette and stewed prunes. The potato brought out the sweetness and the prunes the dryness. Hoping to experiment a bit more with them as there are many categories (Kabinett, Spatlese etc.) which correspond to different densities of the grape (!) and other variables. And the categories correspond to different flavors and sweetness.
