Every year we hold an invitation-only tour for Loosen’s top customers. After arriving in Frankfurt, we took everyone down to the Pfalz region for a tour and tasting at J.L. Wolf. Here’s the group in the vineyards of Wachenheim, with the Wachtenburg castle ruins in the background. The group, left to right, is Steve Doran, Lauber Imports (our distributor in New York); Scott James, J&P Wholesale (distributor in Las Vegas); Dale Short, World Class Wines (distributor in Minnesota); Paul Knight, Galaxy Wine Co. (distributor in Oregon); Mark Gmur, Mondovino (national accounts consultant); Kris Patten, Columbia Distributing (distributor in Washington state); Brian Harlan, Loosen Bros. USA; Scott Fitzsimmons, Classic Wine Imports (distributor in Massachusetts); Patrick Lawlor, Classic Wine Imports; Dominik Sona, winemaker for J.L. Wolf; Zachary Pearson, Spec’s Wine & Spirits, Houston, Texas; Mary Horn, Wine Trends (distributor in Ohio); Rick Annis, Lauber Imports; Ian Dick, Loosen Bros. USA.
Here are Brian, Rick and Ian at Dr. Loosen Winery, back home on the Mosel and getting ready for dinner after our day at J.L. Wolf.
