David,
I made this kit earlier this year using a Wyeast Rudsheimer yeast. This
yeast was selected from German Riesling fermentations and the result was
very, very good. This yeast is a slow fermenter, especially when you ferment
it cold - I fermented mine at around 50 degrees, and it took a good month to
ferment.

As others have noted, most kits come with EC-1118 because it's hard to get
it wrong and it will ferment to dryness.

For fruity wines like the Riesling, I've also used Lalvin D-47 with
excellent results.
