A quick update from the J.L. Wolf vineyards in the Pfalz region of Germany.
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.
