I like a dry Riesling with ham or turkey. It is refreshing and the acid cuts the fat of the meat.
Try Wikipedia.org to find more about Riesling.

I like Riesling because it is typically lower in alcohol than many other wines, and is very food friendly. Very few wines can stand up to spicy cuisine, and a slightly off-dry Riesling is an excellent choice in this case. (Of course if the food is too hot, a cold beer is even better.) Riesling can be totally dry -- my favorites are the Alsatians, but also try those from Austria or even Australia and New Zealand. Or it can be a bit off-dry like the QbAs and Kabinetts from Germany. Sweeter styles from Germany made from riper grapes are the Spatlese and Auslese. And the grape makes good dessert wine too - BA, TBA, Eiswein.
I drink pretty much any and all kinds of wine, but Riesling is my favorite white, because it goes well with food. Another white to try is Gruner Veltliner from Austria -- also versatile and food friendly!

I'm not a huge fan of the German dessert-style Rieslings or the flavored abominations which have become popular in America recently, but I'll drink the drier, Alsacian-style Rieslings by the case. I'm a great admirer of dry white wines, and along the same lines I like certain dry, acidic South American wines.

I chose to drink Riesling because I was told by a friend that it had a light and refreshing taste. I"m not that fond of wine to begin with, but wanted to find at least one or two types that I could enjoy in a social setting...hence the preference for light, low tannin wines with a fresh, sweet, or fruity flavor.
I really enjoy Riesling and usually take a glass by itself or paired with any type of light meal...favoring those with mild chutneys or "green" flavors.
Besides Riesling, I like Lambrusco and casual table wines with less age and a lower alcohol content.

Riesling is a type of grape that is used for wine making from Germany.
I like Riesling because of its versatility. With Riesling, you can make dry and less sweet wines or you can make sweet wine. The sweet nature of Riesling allows you to make drier wine when you harvest early, or it can become much sweeter when it is harvested late.
To me, Riesling is a good appertif as well as dessert wine. I am primarily a red wine drinker and enjoy my wine tannic and complex. I like to pair my wine with food, so with my meals, I feel that Cabernet or Merlot would complement my favorite types of food - primarily beef, exotic red meat, and fish/seafood. Riesling to me is too sweet to pair with food as far as I am concern. I could drink a minimally sweet wine such as Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, but Riesling is not my favorite. On the other hand, with appetizers, such as scallop or foi grois and smoked salmon, or desserts such as suffle or cheesecake or creme brulee, a sweet Riesling goes well and bring out the sweetness in the food. The various fruit flavor of the wine will be brought out by the components of the dessert.
My favorite Riesling is primarily German, such as Gunderloch and Lidel. Californian wineries have started making some good Rieslings recently, including very reasonable priced wine such as V Sattui ($20) and Bonny Doon's Pacific Riesling (sweet or non-sweet, both $12-15).
Other favorite wines include white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc (Conundrum $25, Duckhorn $25, Cakebread $30), Viognair (Pride $45), as well as red wines such as Cabernet Suavignon (Revana $105, Caymus $45, Pride $65), Merlot (Paloma $65), as well as Petit Syrah (Robert Foley $65). Each are flavoraful and wonderfully unique, bringing out the best of us and make us realize why we drink this wonderful gift from the nature in the first place.

I will drink a reisling with appetizers to desserts, pork, poultry or fish. Rieslings can also handle the spice and zest of favored Asian foods.
Reisling is a mood thing. I'm not into 100%, but enjoy it when I drink it.
I opt more for Cabernet, merlot, syrahs (shiraz) types of wines
