Since I have been taking the time to learn more about wine, so I can truly appreciate it. I thought it would nice bring you along on my journey as I go wine tasting and explore vineyards and wines around the world. There are so many great vineyards around the world and I think you should diversify your wine cellar (or rack). We all have one or two go-to wine brands that we stick to no matter what. It’s time to open up your wine palate and be adventurous. Here are 3 delicious Wines of Germany that you will definitely love as much as I do.
For those who say they hate wine, perhaps it’s the wines you’ve tried. Once you understand what tasting notes mean and what dish to serve your wine with. You will then begin to discern what kind of wine you like best. The most important thing is to be open-minded. You will most likely have quite a few misses before you find the right kind of wine for you. Push yourself to read the labels. What does smooth mean? Dry, buttery or full-bodied? These tasting notes will help you know what kind of finish (overall taste) a wine will have.
Below are 3 delicious Wines of Germany that I love:
Loosen Up Riesling
If you are looking for a great light, crisp and fruity Riesling that pairs well with seafood dishes and Asian cuisine, you should try Loosen Up Riesling. This wine is perfect for a novice wine drinker who is still on the fence about wine. It’s also perfect for a true wine connoisseur who wants to still satisfy their intermediate tastes while entertaining a variety of guests.

Black Forest Cuvée
Black Forest Cuvée is a beautiful red wine with the perfect blend of black cherry and soft plum that smoothly dances on the palate. It has a smooth finish. I prefer a red with a smooth finish. It’s best served with chocolate (dark chocolate and red wine is a magical pairing), pasta or lamb dishes.
