I saw this (without paying attention to the price) once in King Street Cellar, a month or two ago. Last time I was there, I asked about it, and picked up a bottle. I had seen a one-litre bottle of Riesling, and it immediately brought to mind table wine. Granted, I hadn’t had the equivalent […]

Ansgar Clüsserath Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Kabinett, 2018, Germany
