Those Silly Germans

Three things I learned today at a German wine tasting at Dee Vine Wines:

1. The Germans are nearly as bad as the French when it comes to not wanting their wines' labels being deciphered by the average consumer. Case in point: we stared at two identical wine labels for 45 seconds trying to figure out how they were different before noticing one digit (in a string of 9) that seemed to tell the story. (the story being that one was tasted third during a blind lineup and the other was tasted fourth). The price difference between the two was something like 5x.
2. A Kabinett is not something you hang in your kitchen.
3. The service at Gary Danko is second to none (the fact that this is the first line of impression recited by a recent patron makes me wonder what the food is like).

Bonus thing: razor wire can be used indoors.
