A while back I found a Weingut Ernst Clusserath Trittenheimer Altarchen
Kabinett '98 at a local shop, at $5 US it was a deal so I went to find
more- I found an opened but unstocked case and checked the label, same
producer vintage vineyard and pradikat level so I bought it. As I was
putting it up I happened to notice the word "halbtrocken" at the labels
bottom. The alcohol level was 1% higher, but that was all it took to
make it too tart for me. I gave the case away to others. I went back to
the shop a few months ago and they had more of the reg kab marked down
to $2 so I got two cases this time.
