Introducing Our “Friends of Ernie” Expanded Portfolio
Great news! Today we’re introducing an expanded “Friends of Ernie” portfolio of terrific wineries available from our U.S. national importer, Loosen Bros. USA.
The Loosen Bros. USA portfolio now includes:
Dr. Loosen (Mosel). Located in the heart of the Mosel valley, the Dr. Loosen estate is consistently ranked among the top 10 wine estates in Germany and among the best Riesling producers in the world.
J.L. Wolf (Pfalz). Owned by Ernst Loosen, J.L. Wolf is located in the Pfalz region along the Rhine in Southern Germany. Here, Ernst makes drier Rieslings, as well as wines from other grape varieties.
Weingut Robert Weil (Rheingau). One of Germany’s most elite producers, Weingut Robert Weil produces vividly intense, distinguished Rieslings from its first-rate vineyard sites in the Rheingau. Robert Weil is also among the perennial top 10 wine estates of Germany.
Ludwig Knoll/Weingut am Stein (Franken). Representing the Franken (aka Franconia) region of Germany, Ludwig Knoll produces bold, openhearted wines from the traditional grape varieties of the area.
Weingut Gantenbein (Switzerland). Widely considered to be one of the finest wine estates of Switzerland, Daniel and Martha Gantenbein make very small quantities of stunning Pinot Noir in the Upper Rhine valley.
J. Christopher (Oregon). Located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, J. Christopher specializes in hand-crafted Pinot Noir made in the traditional style of Burgundy. Ernie and J. Christopher winemaker, Jay Somers, are forming a new partnership to produce world-class Pinot Noir in Oregon.
We’ll be featuring each of these wineries over the week on this blog, so stay tuned! We’ll also post reminders of each new post on our Facebook page.
