Riesling all the way baby. I actually prefer the sweet ones as opposed to the dry, which is a bit unusual I think.

Nice video, good for introductory info. I'd still love to hear more about german labels, as they are extensively complicated.Perhaps a round 2 video is in order?

There SHOULD be global standards on wine labeling. It would make exploring new regions MUCH easier.
