MORE ABOUT THE RIESLING CRASH COURSE:
The Mighty Reign of Riesling
Riesling is the king of white wines, and has been for centuries. Find out why in this juicy tasting of Rieslings from Germany’s historic Mosel valley, where wine has been grown sustainably for more than two thousand years.
You’ll get a quick glimpse into the astonishing range of Riesling styles, from dry to lusciously sweet, with selected wines from the 200-year-old Dr. Loosen estate. See you there!

Friday, February 25th, 2011Here’s part two of Doug Krenik’s conversation with Frasca Restaurant Sommelier Matthew Mathers and Maitre d’ Benjamin Richardson in which the talk turns to J. Christopher wines. (Click here to see part one.)
Thanks, Matthew and Benjamin! Visit Frasca in Boulder, Colorado.
Pt. 1: Frasca’s Matthew Mather & Benjamin Richardson Talk Riesling
Monday, February 14th, 2011In early February Loosen Bros. Midwest Regional Sales Manager Doug Krenik stopped by Frasca Restaurant in Boulder, Colorado, for some wine talk with sommelier Matthew Mather and maitre d’ Benjamin Richardson. Here, in Part 1, is what they had to say about German Riesling and Dr. Loosen wines.
(Stay tuned for Part 2, when they move on to J. Christopher wines. To be posted next week!)
If you’re anywhere near Boulder, Colorado, put Frasca at the top of your must-visit list. Fabulous food, fabulous wines and you can tell Benjamin and Matthew you saw them on YouTube.

Meet Doug Krenik: Dr. Loosen’s Mile-High Rockin’ Wine Guy
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Say hi to the newest member of the Loosen Bros. USA team, Midwest Regional Manager Doug “Kronik” Krenik.
Over the past 20 years, Doug has been associated with almost every aspect of the wine business; importing his own wines, working for local distributors in both sales and education, and directing the wine program of the prestigious Flagstaff House Restaurant in Boulder, Colorado, for six years.
He completed the rigorous Court of Master Sommeliers Diploma Exam in February 2006 and is one of only 169 Master Sommeliers worldwide. Doug is also a Certified Wine Educator (CWE) through the Society of Wine Educators.
Doug currently lives in Colorado with his wife Chris and enjoys cooking, writing, and cycling. He is a veteran of the much-feared Triple Bypass ride which crosses three Colorado mountain passes, all above 10,000 feet. (For you oxygen-rich flat-landers, that’s two miles above sea level.)
He also plays guitar and has been playing in bars and bands since the tender age of 15. When not hosting events such a Beer vs. Wine Throw-Down, he rocks out with a local Colorado cover band.
Why did Doug want to work for Dr. Loosen? Because his passion is site-specific wines.
“Too much wine is soul-less,” he says. “Wines should speak of where they come from, and Riesling is one of the most site-specific wines. It’s the purest expression of the grape that there is.”
And Doug’s favorite food-wine pairing? Currently it’s a Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Spatlese with an Asian-cuisine-inspired summer peach soup.
If you happen to see Doug at one of our tastings–or maybe with his rock band–give a big wave (or yell “Freebird!”) to our Mile-High Wine Guy.
