Sunday, May 22, 2016 - Outstanding example of a German Kabinett. Floral nose. Citrus and white fruit palate with ample acidity to balance the very limited sweetness. I disagree with the prior CT note that says it is on the sweet side. There is a laser sharpness that cuts through the sugar and makes the sweetness much less important as part of the overall taste profile. I have always liked Kabinetts because they are not too sweet while having a bit of hedonistic sugar.
We drank this while making a dinner for 125 people from the family homeless shelter in White Plains. The cooking crew took a five minute break and a bunch of us polished this off with some ripe cheddar and emmenthaler. The acidity cut through the oil in the cheese just right. A real crowd pleaser, and not in a negative way.
