Looking for a German Wine's Importer

[Capaneus]

I'm looking for the US distributor for Weingut Bretz. I can't get my local retailer to come through with my order for their beerenauslese, or to fess up on any other info. Anyone know how I can track down the information on my own, so I can try to find an alternate source?

If anyone else is interested, this is an *amazing* wine for the price ($10.49/btl by the case). Head and shoulders better than anything I've found at anywhere near the same price, including most Aussie stickies (which tend to lack acidity, for my taste).

A quick Google shows the following as the US importers:

Hope this helps.

Well, certainly not to *me*.

I bought a bottle at Canal's on rt. 73 a little after Christmas. I haven't used Beverage Network, so I don't know what they mean by "not sold in NJ" - it's possible it's currently unavailable. But it certainly has been sold in NJ recently.

What vintage?

2001, I believe. Though to be honest, at this price I will take *any*. Their distributor claims "quality at a good price", and boy, do they deliver.
