I still have a bottle of 1993 Domaine Serene Evenstad standing. Had my first bottle last year and boy was it good.

2019 Hofgut Falkenstein “Meyer Nepal”. Has that tangy orange fruit profile across the midpalate and finish that I enjoy so much. Just as good out of 750 mL compared to magnum, but opening the latter earlier this month was more fun

This is great!

Did you spot the Fritz Haag Kabinetts?

I do now. I was just looking at the Oregon selection before. I'll pass.

2015 Peter Lauer Kupp GG

Very shut down today, just some wisps of apple and ginger on the nose and palate. Will try again tomorrow.

My goal is to have a drinking person's cellar that will provide the ability to enjoy the wines I love at different stages of maturity. I don't buy cult wines or wines for investment purposes. My focus is on German wines, riesling especially, but I also enjoy Oregon pinot noir and chardonnay, Champa...

The plural is Kabinette. (And I am jealous. My oldest are 3 bottles of 2008 Prüm WS).

Es tut mer leid. Someone should tell John Gilman to correct his newsletter as well

Where? I literally just opened one tonight.

My cases arrived yesterday and today, earlier than expected. I'll grab some bottles to taste over the next week.

I bought some of this, and the kabinett trocken based on the reviews.

2019 Ode To Lulu Rosé

Light salmon color. Fresh strawberry, Haribo peach, orange blossom, crushed rocks, and lightly toasted bread. Fresh and vibrant on the palate with great precision. I think this could last another couple years at least but it's sooooo good right now.

I update mine whenever I buy, receive, or consume a bottle. Though right now I'm going through a massive reorganization of my rieslings.

So you made me look. 1993 is the oldest Kabinett I still have. Nice vintage to have. After this bottle my oldest kabinetten are from 2015 [head-bang.gif] A couple of stores with a few older German wines: https://bassins.com/wine_list.php?&country=Germany&sort_by=vintage&sort_order=asc h...

Very awesome. I'm quite envious. Was that the one that was up on WineBid a while back? I slipped up on bidding on that one. Been tracking down a bunch '91 wines, rieslings included since it's a birth year wine for me. Waiting until October to start cracking a bunch of them. Yes this was one of the ...

Maybe I should change my IG handle to rieslinginfluencer

1991 Weingut Max Ferd.

Everything else.

I'm kind of surprised you're not 100% Prum

I sense a zoom tasting is in order

I luckily have and continue to plan for Kabinett centric ageing, regularly bringing in Magnums of Kabinett more than any other pradikat level. I went gonzo big on the '19 Richter range, as he made an outstanding range, once again. I find the charm, versatility and appetizing qualities of Kabinett t...

Depending on the vintage, sometimes declassified GG fruit makes it into the lower tier cuvees. IIRC, the 2018 Von Der Fels had a higher percentage of declassified Pettenthal than usual. Guessing at what you mean by lower tier cuvees, but the RR always comes from a specific section of Kirchspiel - t...

Jan, congratulations on finding German Rieslings from the MSR. Loved your notes and esp. your enthusiasm. These are the best wine values in the world. I think your next step should be trying to find German wines with some age on them. Whether from the producers you tasted or the producers you want ...

Ended up with a glass on nights 1,3,4,5. Wine was best on night 3; drank well until the bottle was dry as mummy pussy.
Sounds pretty dry man.

I bet Frisch can still find some residual sugar

1. Keller (more than twice #2) 2. Emrich-Schonleber 3. Schafer-Frolich 4. Ratzenberger (bet no one else has that in Top 5!) 5. Andreas Laible (I'd be surprised on that one as well) Next tier includes Battenfeld-Spanier, JJ Prum, Julian Haart, Weiser-Kuntsler, Willi Schaefer, Wittman - not in order....

These are my top 5, as a percentage of all riesling in my collection. 1. JJ Prum (18.8%) 2. Martin Mullen (13.3%) 3. Willi Schaefer (11.3%) 4. Hofgut Falkenstein (8.9%) 5. Von Schubert Maximin Grunhaus (8.2%) My collection is pretty top heavy with these producers, and then under 2-3% for others. Max...

Congrats on finding the MSR, and thank you for the notes. I'm trying to be patient and haven't dipped into my 2016s (or even 2015s) pradikatsweins since release.

What??

The new /r/wallstreetbets.

To the moon!

I still love the noble sweet wines. I just don't find as many opportunities to open them, and outside of spicy foods and some roasted meat dishes or cheese I find less opportunity to pair them with meals than kabinett or off-dry riesling.

I've been buying bigger quantities of my favorite kabinetts and and feinherb/halbtrocken in general because I have a hard time keeping my hands off them when young.

2019 Falkenstein Niedermenniger Herrenberg Spatlese Feinherb #11 2019 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Spatlese #5 2019 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Schmitt 2019 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Rotlay 2012 Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Attaboy!

Seems like from the pictures on Amazon that riesling bottles would be a tough fit.

You and me both brother

I opened a 1993 Domaine Serene Evenstad Reserve last summer, and still have one bottle left. Here's my note from June: Poured in a Grassl Cru glass and followed over the course of the afternoon. Bottle was standing for a month prior to let fine sediment settle, did not decant. Ruby and translucent i...

This has been a few hard weeks of purchasing wine.

8 cases?!

As a relatively new Bedrock buyer, I'm continuing with my practice of buying one of each (with a few minor exceptions). Normally I don't like buying only one of anything, but there are SO MANY and I don't know them well enough to know which I'd want more of. The reason why I frequently went over a ...
