TRULY DIFFERENT- AND TRULY DELICIOUS!!This 91-point German Rosé of Pinot Noir is an absolute delight! "The 2020 Villa Wolf Pinot Noir delivers a whole regiment of deliciousness. This wine exhibits lovely aromas and flavors of ripe red fruit and earth. Pair it with grilled prawns in a piquant sauce." —Wilford Wong, Wine.com: 91 points
The Pfalz is relatively warm and sunny (by German standards), and thus often called “the Tuscany of Germany”. Pinot varieties thrive there, and Villa Wolf Rosé itself has a When we tasted the 2020 Villa Wolf Rosé, we easily rated the wine 90 points, and three things in particular caught our attention. Our tasting notes emphasized the pronounced and vibrant red fruit character that shines through the wine, the vibrant acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lively, and the wine's lovely, plush texture. This is one of our more surprising and delightful finds of the year. For lovers of rosé, this is a real must, and if you've never tasted a German rosé, this is a great one to start with! And at our Wine of the Week price of $17.98, it's as easy on the wallet as it is delightful on the palate! Order online now, call 301-987-5933, or stop by the store today. |

CHARLIE PLUNKETT PROVIDES LIVE MUSIC TONIGHT! 
When you see an equine profile, it's only natural to assume that you are observing a horse, but every once in a while a zebra makes an appearance- and today's feature wine falls into the metaphorical "zebra" category! Rosés vary in hue, in character, in sweetness, and in flavor, but most come from relatively familiar sources- southern French regions such as Provence and the Languedoc, coastal regions of California, several wine regions throughout Spain and Italy. In contrast, top-flight German rosé is a rarity- partly because white wine dominates production in Germany's cooler climate. So, when we tasted Ernst Loosen's 2020 "Villa Wolf" Rosé from Germany's Pfalz region, it came as something of a revelation. This rosé of Pinot Noir ("Spatburgunder" in German)- is absolutely delicious, with a pronounced character of red fruits (think raspberry and cherry). We loved it when we tasted it, and you will too- especially at.jpg)
super track record. The last four vintages were all rated "Best Buy" by Wine Enthusiast, and while the 2020 vintage is not yet Enthusiast rated, we think it may be the best yet! The 2020 Villa Wolf Rosé is a true rosé- meaning it's made with a brief maceration before pressing to extract the lovely salmon color. It is light and refreshing, with deliciously bright berry and fruit flavors and a clean, zippy finish characteristic of Pinot Noir rosé. While Villa Wolf Rosé is a perfect match for dishes such as ham and poultry, it's super on its own and the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Try the following experiment: open this wine in a crowded room, and see if a party breaks out!
