Käsespätzle, a hearty German dish often likened to macaroni and cheese, is characterized by its rich, creamy texture and robust, cheesy flavor. The dish is made from spätzle, a type of soft egg noodle, which is then layered with copious amounts of cheese and typically topped with crispy onions. The richness and intensity of the cheese, combined with the soft, comforting texture of the spätzle, requires a wine that can balance these strong flavors without overpowering them.A dry German Riesling would be an excellent choice for pairing with Käsespätzle. This wine, made from the Riesling grape, is known for its high acidity and crisp, citrusy flavors, which can cut through the richness of the cheese and provide a refreshing contrast to the creamy texture of the dish. Another good option would be a German Pinot Noir. This red wine, made from the Pinot Noir grape, has a lighter body and a bright, fruity flavor profile that can complement the robust, savory flavors of the Käsespätzle without overwhelming them. For a more adventurous pairing, consider a Grüner Veltliner. This white wine, native to Austria, is known for its peppery notes and high acidity, which can add an interesting dimension to the dish and help balance the richness of the cheese.
