Perfect wine: Dr. Weims-Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese 2002 (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Ger- many), $ The pure, clean crispness and high acidity of German rieslings are great when juxtaposed with rich pork roasts. This riesling also has hints of apricot that work beautifully against the sweetness of the dried plums and Asian hoisin sauce in the roast.
