May 2010
Schmitt Sohne USA was prominently featured in the May 2010 issue of Market Watch. The story, titled "Riesling Rising," explored the growing popularity of German Rieslings in the United States, showcasing Schmitt Sohne as the category leader.

"I think a big part of our success is that American wine buyers are discovering German Riesling's versatility," said Chris Klau, President of Schmitt Sohne USA. "Its unmatched food-friendliness combined with its strength as a standalone wine also attracts many young wine buyers."

Schmitt Sohne has been especially successful with their RELAX® Riesling brand which enjoyed a sales increase of nearly 20 percent from 2008 to 2009. "We believe the potential for German Riesling in America extends well beyond RELAX," said Klau. "That's why we offer customers a wide variety of taste profiles and price points. Our diverse lineup positions us well for continued growth."

September 2009
MILLERSVILLE, MD - In May, Schmitt Sohne debuted ANYTHING goes Riesling. As its name implies, ANYTHING goes Riesling stakes its reputation on its food-friendliness. Vibrantly fruity with a balanced crispness and remarkably clean finish, it pairs well with everything from pork to pasta, Thai food to trout almondine. It sports a lively illustrated label and easy-open Stelvin® closure. ANYTHING goes Riesling ($13.00 a 750-ml. bottle) is made from grapes grown on the Mosel Valley's Steillage, or steep slopes, where they benefit from longer exposure to sunlight and their deeper roots take in more complex nutrients. The result is a true representation of Mosel terroir.

One of more than a dozen Riesling offerings from Schmitt Sohne, ANYTHING goes is available on - and off- premise nationwide. For more information call (410) 729-4083 or email cklau@schmittsohneusa.com.
