We tried a Zeller Schwartze Katz Qualitätswein by Schmitt Söhne. Good German wine from the Zell vineyard in Longuich Germany with 9.5% alcohol. It says to be paired with light foods and served chilled. It's a steal at $8.99. Most of us had the 2014 vintage.
Appearance: translucent amber, almost clear with quick legs
Nose: sweet, flowery, slightly citrus, honeysuckle
Taste: fruity, Apple, pear, citrus, clean finish with no aftertaste
Pairing: went well with various cheese and crackers, pretzels

We all really liked this wine but couldn't give it a 4 on the Brit scale since we didn't think it was a Superior culinary event (it was sooo light!). On a side note Melissa thinks that only red wines can be 4s. 🙄 See our post about the Brit scale for more information on our rating system.
This is a great light wine that pretty much anyone would like. Great to bring to a dinner with friends. Sherry called this a great patio wine.
