As a rule, Riesling varietals are generally sweet.
What do you plan on eating? Several courses may require several different wines, and a wine which is too sweet may ruin your meal. |

When it comes to wine, drink what you like to drink. Screw the snobs!

Well personally I'd stay away from the Alsacian stuff ( get a true German Riesling and say F the French).
As far as what you guys might like, I don't know, too subjective–– I'm guessing the wife likes a sweeter Riesling?. I would suggest a dryer Riesling such as a Kabinett because these are generally harvested earlier than the Auslesers and less sweet; a nice combo IMHO with some spicy sushi. So out of your selection above I'd (personally) go with the Schloss Vollrads, Rheingau, Kabinett 2006. |

I assume you guys have wasabi with sushi. IME, the only thing that really stands up to it in terms of white is a good Gewurztraminer.
Frankly, I think beer is better with Sushi, with a little sake to cap off the evening. |

Either one will work though. |

Quoted:
+1, German Rieslings tend to be dryer. Not true. if I could make one generalization about German v. Alsatian Rieslings, it would be to say that the Alsatian wines tend to be quite a bit drier than their German cousins. Also, recent Alsace vintages have been only average, while Mosel has produced some 95+ wines over the last few years. I agree with the previous recommendation to get a drier Riesling, but not too dry...I think a lot of the floral character of the wine is lost when it is fermented to dryness. Instead, a Spätlese has a touch of sweetness while retaining full bouquet. So, I would opt for the Piesporter. |

Kabinett is a German word, so none of that faggy "yay" shit. |

I've never personally had it (but plan to try it), but I've heard Champagne goes well with sushi in that it tends to clean the palate between pieces. Any truth to this??

I'm not a fan of wines.
However.... 480 Marienburger "Piesporter Michelsberg" Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Spatlese 2007
Should be relatively sweet...the "Spatlese" means late harvest (more sugar in the grapes). My wife likes a similar wine (different maker) a great deal...a bit harder to find in some stores however. AFARR |

I would be tempted to say try a off dry Sauvignon Blanc. But I would worry it would not be sweet enough for your wife.
