Subject: Re: What Happen To Fruity Kabinetts? |
| Hello, the VDP is a private club, rules only apply to the members of that club. If you want to bottle an Erste Lage is is your own choice and as for as the 2005 vintage, not that many estates are doing that. The price issue : I was told about the 12,50EUR barrier by several people who are VDP-members. Check with Reinhard Löwenstein, I am sure he will be able to help you with that.
