I got three. I’d move quick if I were you.

4 left. Must…resist…

#3

where do you see qty remaining?

#4

I put 6 in my cart, told me there were only 4 left. This was the sign that told me to put the pipe down and slowly walk away.

#5

ahhh … i wish they had a visible realtime inventory like K&L. this was my first order from Winex (although I’ve perused the site many times) … I just couldn’t pass it up … i’m weak – there goes my 2 month streak of no wine buying (not counting a couple club shipments, and wines purchased while away from home for the holidays). this will make it a bit easier to resist placing an order with K&L, which I’d been resisting for the past two days.

#6

Lots of 2003 Mosels languishing, seen Prum discounted heavily here too.

#7

Why is that?

#8

Weeks on end of scorching hot days tends to make the acidity go away. Turns into Central Valley riesling wannabes.

#9

After we sold through crazy amounts of 2004s, 2006s, and 2007s this week, I cannot see the 2003s exciting me.

#10

Prum blew it in 2003… I bought a bunch of W-S Goldkaps for $50 each thinking I got a deal, flabby as all hell. Wine Spectator pulled that 95 out of its ass.

#11

harumph! low acidity may not be for others, but I don’t mind 'em a bit fat. i’ve never been shy about this, and reckon it is a driving force behind my preference for Rheingaus. still, i gotta believe it’s hard to find a better $20 german spat… I’ll pop one this weekend and report back.

#12

would they have excited you BEFORE selling crazy amounts, or are you just showing off now? [tease.gif]

Truthfully, I may have bought a few btls.
$20 is cheap for the wine (as you know) but after just selling 2004 WS Kabinett for $21.99 (and my cost being lower neener ) I prefer to have that wine, to answer your question.

#14

Just had it yesterday. Acidity is really too low!

#15

Had three bottles the past week and half. Not that it was good, just try to learn, or maybe I was looking for miracle.
The final bottle consumed on Superbowl night, acidity was there for sure but the wine as a whole had no focus, acidity was there but dull. Very dull wine. To be honest, I would not spend $20 on wines like this.
