Sommerau, meaning summer meadow, seems an appropriate name for this wine. Sommerau Castle Riesling is sweet and light, something that would be perfect for a picnic in the park (or meadow). It is also quite enjoyable even in November as a desert wine or aperitif. It is one of the favorites of the night regardless of whether you prefer sweet or not so sweet wines.
PS According to Wine Enthusiast Magazine, the 2010 German Riesling harvest was limited. If you like this year wine you better stock up quickly before it is all gone. On a side note 2009 was a good year for German Rieslings.
