Default 9 Cases of Wine

'03 996 Cabrio (top up), two passengers, nine cases of wine & champagne (54 x 0.75L bottles) transported for 200 kilometers at average speed of 140 kilometers per hour. Do we get a prize?

Actually, just a re-stock ride. Next stop is Rüdesheim for a couple of cases of Prinz von Hessen Riesling.

Sehr gut... sounds like a great day! Rudesheim is such a quaint little town, on such a beautiful river. I look forward to returning there someday... perhaps when I'm older and live at a little slower pace

Schwank *perhaps when I'm older and live at a little slower pace*

The ride to Rudesheim is slow paced. The A5 to the A66 and then you just cruise the road next to the Rhein. There's only a 5 mile long streatch without a posted speed limit, and the traffic will keep you from getting above 100mph. And once you're on the A66 75 or 80mph is the posted speed, and after that, it's 30 to 60mph. But it's fun, and the folks at Prinz von Hessen let you sample as much as you want, and the view is nice. Great fun in top-down weather.

I wouldn't drink any of that wine right away, it may suffer from "bottle shock"

The 2005 Germans are off the charts good. The Donnhoff Hermanshohle is really special.
