Peter Mertes Liebfraumilch Rheinhessen Qualitatswein, 2009, $5.95: This soft, delicate German wine of the Rheinhessen and Palatinate districts is originally named after the Leibfraumilch monastery in Worms, where the monks were the first wine growers and produced an unusually pleasing wine. Wines of the Rheinhessen and Palatinate are noted for their aroma, well- balanced harmony, and fragrance. Leibfraumilch is suggested to be served with cold entrees, such as chicken or turkey, or even with mild Cheddar. It is also described as being mellow and slightly nutty with a medium consistency. I felt this wine was very sweet on the nose and on the palate. It was soft, and I do love very sweet wines, so I liked this one a lot. Very fruity and light.
