German Rieslings are categorized based on their style (levels of dryness) and the grape's ripeness level at harvest (i.e. Kabinett, Spatlese, Auslese, etc). When looking for a dry style of Riesling, the label's buzz words will be Trocken ("dry" in German) or Halbtrocken ("half-dry" in German).
Bernkastler was my favorite and its very hard to find now. Only one spirits store in Atlanta spirits shop carries it that I know of.
I like German wines best.
