German wines can sometimes be astonishing bargains. This gorgeous Riesling Kabinett from St. Urbans-Hof winery in the heart of Germany’s Mosel is a case in point.

Juicy and fragrant as a ripe white peach, the 2010 Riesling Kabinett is sheer nectar laced with the bright acidity that makes these wines so food-friendly.

Open a bottle for a Moroccan or Thai meal. It’s also a terrific match with cheese. Or simply enjoy it as an aperitif before dinner.
