K is for Kabinett
Sunday. Brought to you by the letter K; as in Kabinett.
K - Kabinett If you’re not a fan of "Blue Nun" style German Riesling, grab a bottle with this word on the label. Kabinett wines are usually dry or slightly off-dry. Wine in this category isn’t allowed to be sweetened with unfermented grape juice as are many entry level German Rieslings. Get your Kabinett groove on with Gunderloch Jean Baptiste Riesling Kabinett, ’03 ($19).
Beau,
I've had a couple of 7.5% kabinetts that were pretty sweet but way to go bringing the German's a little more exposure. I have been drinking Spatlese's quite alot these days.
Hope you are well and I should be back on line for the off-dry day.
Easy,
Bill

You're alive! I was thinking about sending out a search party to recover your wine cellar (and of course you :) )

I picked up a few Kabinetts recently...figured I'd drink through them and see what was what. All were $15 or under I think...
Of course I got a couple Spatlese as well :) One can't live on Kabinett alone.
