The October 2021 Explorer Club takes us to the sunny and dry German tourist mecca of Pfalz, just opposite Alsace in France. An area that has gained much reputation as a wine region filled with innovative producers. Now seeing much international demand. Happy Octoberfest!

Featured Wines:

2019 VILLA WOLF PFALZ PINOT GRIS

89 points Wine Enthusiast: "Grapefruit, pear and pineapple notes gain power from nose to finish in this fresh, fruity white. Dry and medium-bodied in style, it’s a thirst-quenching, delicately saline sip with an easy yet elegant appeal."

2019 VILLA WOLF PFALZ PINOT NOIR

Pinot Noir has a long tradition in the Pfalz region of Germany, where it is known as Spa¨tburgunder. The Villa Wolf Pinot Noir is warm and medium-bodied, with a firm acid structure. Its bright black-cherry fruit is juicy, ripe, and forward, with a spicy midpalate and lingering finish. A minimum of twelve months of aging in used French oak barriques gives the wine a smoky depth and a nice touch of earthy tannins. It’s an excellent, approachable red wine for everyday dining.
