With corned beef and cabbage, we had a bottle of Riesling (it?s Irish-American choucroute after all). The 2007 JJ Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett Riesling has a nice flavor profile- apple.,orange peel, and slate. The 2007 shows a bit in the rather soft acids, but it's still lively and finishes surprisingly long. B/B+
Fun if not exciting. Only had the one, but looks like I have some 2008s , which I think might have a bit more zip.
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency
