  (Merkelbach Kinheimer Rosenberg Riesling Spätlese) ($22.00) Is that all the Kabinett? Yup, but no worries, because Spätlese at this address tastes like the over-endowed Kabinetts at other addresses. (And costs less.) This is almost like a delicate Scheurebe, all pink grapefruit and cassis. A so-called “Jungfernwein” (first crop from a new vineyard, thus highly concentrated), exotic and pretty and cool, with all its spicy tropicality.
