Mosel

In my mind the greatest examples of tart with sweetness come from the Mosel in Germany. I recently attended a "Riesling and Rhone" lunch and several wines from JJPrum and Ernst Loosen were served, every single one of which was excellent.

As an easy start, try the 05 Dr L from Loosen, cheap, readily available and an excellent wine. His wines extend all the way to the stratosphere but things like the Wehlener Sonnenuhr auslese are simply fantastic value - yes it's a $60 wine but the same quality from say Bordeaux or Burgundy would cost a fortune.

By the way the Rhones were universally dire, including the one I brought. I felt really sorry for a colleague who bought a $200 bottle of Rhone for the occasion only to find it was undrinkable.
