Weekend Wine: German Kabinett Riesling (Erben von Beulwitz Kaseler Nies’chen 2006, $19)

August 14th, 2008 · No Comments

All else aside, if we were to judge a wine purely on how fast it disappeared from our glasses, Erben von Beulwitz’s 2006 Kabinett Riesling would be tough to out-do.  Folks, this is simply a beautiful and so very delicious wine that left us feeling sad every time we realized how fast we were drinking […]
