2005 Willi Schaefer Auslese Graacher Domprobst AP#10
I was rummaging around my cellar last night and came across six
bottles of 2005 Willi Schaefer Auslese Graacher Dombprobst AP#10 so I popped it in the fridge for about 30 minutes and popped the cork. Wow! I don't drink many Germany wines and certainly not a many Mosel wines but this was a wine that I just couldn't stop drinking. Floral notes on the nose with a bit of fresh peach. The wine was very smooth and creamy on the palate with ripe apples, cinnamon, caramel and a squeeze of lime. Brilliant. "A" on the Dale scale. |

I paid $40/bottle for the six bottles along with about 3 mixed cases of different stuff. I just checked the price online and was shocked to see prices close to $80. |

I've only had a few of his wines (they're not that cheap normally, and very hard to find) - but every bottle I've opened has led to a mindblowing experience. |

I couldn't pass up the Schaefer and the price was what the seller was asking. He had to liquidate quickly to pay a tax debt. I didn't know him personally prior to purchasing the wine but a mutual freind put us in touch. He had a ton of great stuff at bargain prices. |

The tax bill had to be paid and he had to raise money quickly from qhat I understand. Probably not the first time that somwone has sold off their collection at a loss to pay off a tax debt and personally I'd rather give the wine away than have Uncle Sam seize it and have it languish in a 100F warehouse for ten years while they sort things out. |

Good job hunting or was it a > friend?- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - A friend of mine knew this fellow and of his need for quick cash. I went to the man's home and checked out his cellar...well kept at 55F. He had a lot of high end California offerings, Opus One, Cardinale, Dominus, Silver Oak, a few cases of first growth Bordeaux from 2000-2005 the cellar contents were fairly newer vintages from about 2000 on with a ton of California chardonnay from bulk producers so I assumed that either he or his wife/"significant other" drank a lot of chardonnay. |

I'm up to about 5500 bottles of various stuff and at 57 I need to really get busy.....I don't want to leave too much for the kids! |
