Rahmschnitzel (German Schnitzel in Creamy Mushroom Sauce)
I lived in Germany for 7 years and fell in love with Rahmschnitzel. Every recipe I found says to use dry white wine in the sauce. Every time I made it, something was missing. It wasn't that "Yep, I'm in Germany" taste. Then my beautiful wife had a Riesling one night and I used it. Now we're back in Germany!
