VLM at home with nothing better to do than order Chinese and watch Generation Kill.
2004 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #9
I bought at least a case of this on close-out for something like $16, which is surely a crime somewhere. I’ve been a big Schaefer fan for as long as I can remember buying German wine, and always find the Spätlese beautiful. I’ve been really happy with the fairly angular 2004s, although this has softened a bit since my last bottle. Plenty of fat still on the bones, so it should be better in a few years, keeping in mind that I probably like most of my Spätlese on the younger side than most.
Cool. I have this wine. This post sounds like my life. Except The Wire and not Generation Kill.
ReplyDeleteI need to get Season 5, still haven't seen it. I'll need to start from Season 1 and go all the way through, of course.
ReplyDeleteThis wine is killer.
