GERMANY WHITE WINE PFALZ REICHSRAT V. BUHL ARMAND RIESLING KABINETT 2023 VDP Gutswein

CHÂTEAU JULIA ASSYRTIKO 2024 PGI Drama, vegan (Domaine Costa Lazaridi)

Sourced from vines grown in white and yellow-red sandstone, this Riesling was hand-harvested and fermented in September 2023 and rested on the lees until April 2024. It’s a wine of significant character; fresh and buoyant with finely tuned acidity and sweetness. Just a joy to taste. [SCA did not include a tasting note.] Score: 94 (Sommeliers Choice Awards, 2024) Aromatic & Flavourful 45009 (S) 750 ml $26.95 2 Featured in Hop To It 4 Organic product

Pioneering winemaker Costa Lazaridis was the first to plant Assyrtiko in Drama, doing so in 1979 and dramatically changing the region’s fortunes in the process. The grape’s success there has made it a vital part of the winemaking landscape. This elegant, bright wine shows characterful lemon, orchard fruit and flinty minerality. Enjoy it through 2029.

GERMANY RED WINE PFALZ ERNST LOOSEN VILLA WOLF PINOT NOIR 2023 Qualitätswein

NOEMA BLANC DE NOIR XINOMAVRO 2024 PGI Florina

A white wine made using the famed red Xinomavro, this is far more than a mere curiosity. It’s elegant, expressive, and deliciously unique, with floral, citrus, and white fruit tones. There’s a bright, zesty acidity, but with a textural weight that gives the wine a little added oomph. A long, mineral-infused finish closes the deal with real class. Enjoy through 2027. Full-bodied & Rich 49464 (XD) 750 ml $21.95 2

Villa Wolf traces its winemaking beginnings to 1756, but its modern ascendancy dates to 1996, when the Dr. Loosen estate began overseeing the vineyards. Pfalz is Pinot (a.k.a. Spätburgunder) country, and this one has wonderful acidity, ripe and juicy cherry, earth, smoke, and wood spice. Made for everyday dining, it’s a fun, engaging wine that will work with grilled sausages or grilled salmon.
