We hope this blog post finds you amidst the joyful celebrations of the Festive Season.

Our journey toward illuminating the American market about the superior quality of German wine is made possible solely because of your unwavering support. In the upcoming year, we eagerly welcome new producers from Mosel and Pfalz, and expanding our horizons into the realm of spirits. We are actively seeking collaborations with distinguished craft distilleries based in Germany and are excitedly launching a brand for a locally produced vodka in partnership with a New York-based distillery. Many of our customers boast sophisticated bars, and we are enthusiastic about fostering stronger relationships with Mixologists in the city. Additionally, we are fervently driving an initiative to target a wider audience through Liquor stores with a RTD wine cocktail in a can. All these endeavors, including other non-German initiatives, will be spearheaded under the new entity Beverage Book. This dedicated team ensures that Wunderwein retains its unwavering focus on marketing its premium German wine portfolio.
Commencing January 2nd, 2024, we are integrating NY Distribution with Gasko & Meyer and would like to extend our appreciation to the team for expanding our portfolio across the State. We aim to fortify our partnership with Savannah Distributing in Atlanta, offering support in their endeavor to develop the State of Georgia, and similarly for Sang de la Terre in Delaware. In Connecticut, we continue with self-distribution alongside Classic Wines, actively seeking a Regional Director capable of developing this State and neighboring Westchester and Long Island.
We will share more news and additional detail over the coming weeks!
In the meantime, if you are looking for last minute gift ideas, please note that we now have four of the great six GGs from Gut Hermannsberg on wine.com and would be delighted to see them in your hands. This is timely as Wines of Germany has just featured Karsten Peter, the legendary wine maker of the Estate on this blog post.
May the serenity and joy of this Holiday Season resonate warmly with you and your loved ones!
With all best wishes from Team Wunderwein.
