Frankenwein, Weissherbst

[Wolfgang]

Ah...i've never had the courage to spend money on a rosé, but now I will, thanks!(Any suggestions...something I might be able to find at trader joes?). In regards to the Frankenwein, i think wondersofwine is right. The term "franken" stems from the area called Franken (northern Bavaria along the Main near Würzburg).
The bottle looks like: http://www.elsa-wuerzburg.de/www/elsa/images/wein.jpg
The area is: http://www.weinland-franken.de/orte/index.htm

If anyone can read german or has a translation program, they might like to read the wine history of the region on that latter site. It's pretty interesting.
