Really good = ice wine.
Ice wines are fantastic when produced in traditional methods like they do in Germany. Many ice wines in the US and Canada are made by commercially freezing the grapes rather than letting them freeze on the vine.
I have never had a German Ice Wine, but the US and Canadian ones are WAAAAAAY to sweet for me. It's like drinking syrup.
You either drink them as your dessert or or along with your dessert. They are not something you pop and drink hanging on the deck on a nice summer afternoon.
