What kind of wine should I order at a restuarant?

Question

I love drinking wine but I only buy it by the case from a private seller here in Germany. Its a sweet white wine and I love it but restaurants dont carry it and I dont know what any other wines taste likeand Im affraid to order something while eating out in case I dont like it. Any advise?

Answer 1

A Reisling would be your answer. Something not dry. Or just try a white zinfandel (which will actually be pink in color) if they have it there in Germany. A Pinot Grigio is mild and tasty but not sweet.

Answer 2

In nicer restaurants, the wait staff is fairly knowledgeable about wine. Some even have a special person for just the wine.

I'd try asking your waitperson for a wine most similar to your brand. It's worth a shot!

Answer 3

Try to see if they have any magnums of Chateau d'Yquem from Sauternes from the early 1900's. Some of the vintages from the thirties are just becoming mature now. Will probably cost you $20,000 to $30,000 per bottle.

Cheers!

Answer 4

Reisling

Answer 5

Try a nice Reisling. Make sure you tell them you don't want a dry variety. Or for a special treat, ask them if they have a nice Eiswein (sometimes called icewine). It's very sweet.

Answer 6

It in basic terms relies upon how hungry i'm, and has no longer something to do with no rely if I also have a drink with my meal. yet I not often order dessert anymore, because of fact the entree parts are so huge.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Most Rieslings are fairly sweet, albeit dry.

Answer 10

Merlot.
