Default Obscure request for German wine with "Loth" in name

A friend has asked me to help locate a German wine that he fell in love
with, two years ago, at a restaurant in our area (Southern California),
but cannot locate now. What he recalls is that the producer's name was
"Loth" ...... or at least that's what he thinks. I've Googled my mouse
off and can find no reference to anything like that, except for one
producer called "Lother", but there is no detail regarding them. I was
hoping one of you, especially those in Europe, might have a clue.

Oh.... and the restaurant has changed it's wine list since, and the
owner doesn't recall the wine in question. Might be a wild wine chase,
but this group can do wonders sometimes.

Thanks.

Hi
There's little to go by. If we assume that only producers of some repute
sell their wines abroad there's the possibility the producer could be
Weingut Roth in Franconia. http://www.weingut-roth.de/
They use the traditional "Bocksbeutel" bottle for many of their dry wines.
Does your friend remember whether the bottle was unusual?

Thank so much, Anders.
I had called the restauarnt, but nobody could recall the wine.......
until this afternoon. I just received a call that it was a Gruner
Veltliner from Weingut Leth, in Austria,[www.weingut-leth.at]. I can
now help him find the wine. Do you happen to be familiar with it, by
the way?

You probably found the importer to the US already via
<http://www.weingut-leth.at/dealer_usa.html> :

Domaine Select Wine Estates LLC

New York, NY 10018

Tel. 001/212/279 0799

As to the estate, Franz Leth (running the estate with his
brothers) is considered solidly based in the second rank of
Austria's top producers. That normally translates into quality
that's nearly on par with the very best, but at much friendlier
prices.
