I have a number of MĂĽllen's Trockens in the cellar. Not a good sign
based on your reaction to this one.

I hear you. We end up with the dilemma of finishing a bottle between
the two of us or storing it for later, then dealing with a collection of
opened bottles a week or two later. In the end, we're probably
consuming more during our self-selected quarantine.

Woof! An '11 with that much tannin? That reminds me of my '07 Chandon
de Briailles P-V IdV bottles that have been hard as rocks.

Wow, I like the sound of this course especially. Is it also from the
Momofuku cookbook?
Congrats, BTW, on getting your first dose of vaccine. Coincidentally,
Jean and I both got ours on the same day as you. Jean was almost giddy
with excitement thinking about being able to travel and go out again
Fun notes, as always!
