Championship Bottle “History Ablaze” Pinot Noir Rosato 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $33, that’s $31.35 at 5% off and $29.70 at 10% off, 11 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “A bottle that might be called daring if you felt like that term could be applied to winemaking. This is our homage to “serious” rosés like Valentini and Pepe Cerasuolo, Pataille Fleur de Pinot, L’Anglore, and Chateau Simone, which have either gotten significantly more expensive, or hard to find, or both-and so we had to make something to drink ourselves. A single-vineyard wine, it was treated to a nearly 18 month élevage in older barrels, which added a layer of savoriness and complexity to balance the cherry-red and strawberry fruit of the wine. It’s a contemplative bottle to drink over the next five years.”

Arnot-Roberts Rosé, California 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $26, that’s $24.70 at 5% off and $23.40 at 10% off, 17 bottles in stock now
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 91 points “The 2023 Rosé is an unusual blend of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Grenache and Tina Coa. Effusive, broad aromatics and lovely mid-palate depth make for an intriguing yet quirky Rosé that offers too much versatility. Wildflowers, blood orange, mint, rose petals and kirsch are some of the many nuances that build in this striking, wonderfully inviting Rosé from Arnot Roberts.”
Marietta Cellars OVR Old Vine Rose, California 2022 750ml Displayed Price: $14.50, that’s $13.78 at 5% off and $13.05 at 10% off, 21 bottles in stock now
Erin Brooks-Wine Advocate 92 points “A blend of 50% Syrah, 25% Grenache Noir and 25% Grenache Gris, the 2022 Old Vine Rosé has a medium cherry-pink color and pretty scents of peach, dried herbs and charcuterie. The light-bodied palate is bright and refreshing with a deep core of fruit, a touch of anchoring texture and a long, spicy finish. It drinks well on its own, although it will pair widely at the table.”

Wine Spectator 92 points “A smoky rosé, with an alluring mix of fruit and earth notes. Shows a lot of presence, depth and complexity, with a streak of saline in tandem with red currant– and clementine-laced acidity. A characterful wine that vibrates with energy and harmony. Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2027.”

Chateau Margilliere Bastide Rosé, Coteaux Varois en Provence 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $19.50, that’s $18.53 at 5% off and $17.55 at 10% off, 12 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “Grenache and Cinsault. Manual Harvest, vinification by bleeding and temperature control at 17°C during the fermentation process. A robe of very pale and attractive pink. Expressive of a wild strawberry, the nose reveals a hint of grapefruit. A large and delicate mouth for the pleasure of the buds, with aromas of raspberry and jasmine. A wine to serve on a risotto of Saint Jacques or with gariguettes strawberries.”

Eric Guido-Vinous 92 points “The 2022 Rosé opens with a savory bouquet, blending dusty dried flowers with ginger, cardamom and a touch of dried peaches. This washes across the palate with opulent textures while remaining remarkably fresh and light on its feet. Sweet spices and ripe orchard fruit swirl throughout. The Château Peyrassol cleans up beautiful, pure, fresh and perfumed. It ends on a salty flourish.”

Winemaker’s Note “Organically farmed. From the lieu dit “La Moutte” this tiny production rosé is from mostly 45 year old Cinsault planted in 1970, and 10-15 year old Mourvèdre and Syrah. Cold maceration for 6 hours in the press and slow pneumatic pressing. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with occasional lees stirring. Rose petal, honeydew melon, lychee, pineapple and garrigue. Surprisingly rich mouth feel. Hint of pepper and crushed rock on the finish.”

Winery Note “Domaine de Triennes is a pale pink color. A compelling bouquet of strawberries and white flowers with a touch of vanilla. Expressive and elegant, the palate offers mouthwatering freshness. An embodiment of the Mediterranean in the glass.”
Pierre-Marie Chermette Domaine du Vissoux Les Griottes Rosé, Beaujolais 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $19, that’s $18.05 at 5% off and $17.10 at 10% off, 22 bottles in stock now
“The 2023 Rosé Griottes speaks in hushed tones. Simple notes of peach, orange peel and chamomile run through both nose and palate. Easygoing and uncomplicated, this is a decent poolside quaff.” -Billy Norris, Vinous

Billy Norris-Vinous 92 points “The 2023 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Rosa-ae is bright, ripe, citrusy and energetic. It rushes forth with notes of blood orange, grapefruit and a distinct current of saline minerality. The acidity is almost electric here, generating a real sense of forward motion that is quite enjoyable. Deep, complex, nuanced hints of lavender and rose linger on the driven, persistent finish.”

Mosel Fine Wines 88 points “AP: 23 24. The 2023er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Rosé Trocken is made with Spätburgunder. The wine offers a subtle nose of raspberry, barbecue herbs, chalk, and white flowers. It is rather sharp and precise on the palate and leaves a pure and precise feel of minerals, raspberry, and cranberry in the finish. 2025-2026.”

Schafer-Frohlich
Powerful, mineral-drenched and resolutely bright, Schafer-Frohlich’s Rieslings are some of the finest white wines in the world, at a fraction of the price of their peers in Burgundy or Alsace. As a result, allocations are tiny: Michelin-starred restaurants fight over them and European collectors stash as many in their cellars as possible. Thankfully, the estate was brought to the attention of the American importer Rudi Wiest by none other than Helmut Dönnhoff.
Current winemaker Tim Frohlich took over his family’s estate at the impressive age of 19 in the mid-1990s. The estate was invited into the VDP consortium in 2001. He became the youngest person in the history of Germany to be named the winemaker of the year by Gault-Millau in 2010.
They have continued to impress and amaze, winning award after award for the quality of their wines. Tim’s goal for his wines is to exemplify finesse, elegance and the character of the site where the grapes were grown. Their holdings encompass 47 acres in 6 different GG areas, making their quality consistently high across their portfolio. Explore our top-notch close-out options or browse our entire Schafer-Frohlich collection online now.

Schafer-Frohlich Stromberg Grosses Gewachs Riesling, Nahe 2017 750ml Was $85, Now $75, 11 bottles in stock now
Mosel Fine Wines 96 points “The 2017er Bockenauer Stromberg GG proves rather reduced and smoky at first. It then gradually reveals riper notes of pineapple, orange, yellow peach, tangerine and gingerbread, all wrapped into spices and residual scents from the spontaneous fermentation. The wine proves coats the palate with juicy and lightly flavors. The finish is however focused and even racy thanks to a pure and lime driven acidity kicking in. A slightly tart side in the after-taste still needs to melt into the wine but the wine is hugely impressive. 2025-2037”

Schafer-Frohlich Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Spatlese, Nahe 2017 750ml Was $39, Now $33, 28 bottles in stock now
David Schildknecht-Vinous 93 points “Elder flower and peony, ripe quince and white peach on the nose presage a lusciously-fruity and profusely floral inner-mouth performance. The feel is glossy but buoyant. The succulent and superbly-concentrated finish remains transparent to floral nuances as well as revealing a shimmering sense of crystalline and flinty stoniness.”

Schafer-Frohlich Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Spatlese Goldkapsel, Nahe 2018 750ml Was $59, Now $49, 17 bottles in stock now
John Gilman-A View From the Cellar 93+ points “The 2018 Goldkapsel Spätlese from the Felseneck vineyard was made solely with shriveled golden berries and there is not a trace of botrytis in this beautiful wine this year. The bouquet is nicely youthful at the present time and takes a bit of coaxing to offer up a gorgeous blend of pear, white cherries, wild yeasts, a lovely undertow of salty slate, white flowers and a whisper of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is very pure, medium-full and racy, with a lovely core, superb filigree and bounce and a very long, vibrant and complex finish. This just dances across the palate. 2024-2070.”
