2011 von Schubert Maximin Grunhauser Absterg Riesling Kabinett

[Jay Miller]

was delightful last night.

Arnold also loved but complained that at 9% it was too high in alcohol compared with the 7% Spatleses he prefers.

I'm really liking 2011s for current drinking.

Yes.

But save your money.

Thanks. Always good to have a reminder about drinking more Grunhaus.

2013. But 2014 is more to my taste.

I visited most places with John Gilman, so I don't post detailed notes, for obvious reasons. Did you read his report? I share his overall excitement, and while our mean may be the same, my take would have far greater variance. Looking forward to discussing in person when I am back next month, while we attempt to make room for these things in the cellar.

Rightly so. Give 'em hell. Arnold for President of the Verband Deutscher Prädikats- und Qualitätsweingüter!

The real problem with my iPad is that I get these his issue during the day at work and don't download it due to the limited 3G data plan. Then I get home and the email shows already read so I forget about it.

So no, I haven't read his report. I'll have to try and remember to fix that this weekend.

I would have taken you for a 2015 kind of guy.

Forward, Comrades!

Unlike your cellar, Jay's and mine aren't undergoing metric expansion of space.

We increase our storage by the square foot!

It's all part of his 30 year plan. 2043 is where it's at.
