Going to an event on Sunday and Keller is in their portfolio. Super excited.
I much prefer the “100-cases-of Kabinett” flex to when Rob Rosania bragged about having 100 cases of 96 Salon.
I remember flipping out when I realized that I owned 10 cases of 1990 German riesling.
This was in 1992 or so. I bought a few more. But not enough.
Not here in 20. WS Kab prices from weingut direct source.
'19 £18
'20 £19
'21 £24
Looks like we actually did see a big markup this year. I didn’t notice honestly.
If by steal you mean you are getting robbed. I paid $26.50 in the UK from a Weingut direct source. So somebody in the middle is jacking things up.
This thread has caused me to feel like i need some 2021 Prüm Kabinett in my life…
If i have to limit myself to only a few bottles, which cuvee should i aim at?

Welcome to the THREE tier system.
WS Auction…just kidding
Prum Graacher Spatlese 2001.
Opened at home. Gorgeous wine, seemed almost Auslese sweet. Served with diver’s scallops, and after with a fine piece of aged Comte.The wine seemed to change with the food; with the simple flavors of the scallop, the fruit and minerality showed beautifully; with the umami in the cheese the wine took a back seat, with the acidity and fruit now coming to the fore. Wonderful showing; could do with a little more aging.
One of my favorite 01s. I have consumed almost my entire stash.
I have a sole bottle of 2001 Willi Schaefer GD Spätlese Auction still. Not touching it for awhile.
What a fantastic note!
