TELLER WINES

December Teller 12

 Whites

Adria Christmas (White blend), Italy          

An annual tradition! Pick up a couple of bottles as hostess gifts or for your own enjoyment. Light and refreshing to go with appetizers.

Nein Lives (Riesling), Germany    

Gentle and sweet, this wine also has style and substance. Just enough sass to keep her honeyed notes refreshing rather than overly sweet.

Volver (organic white blend), Spain             

Grapes are grown in sandy soil, minimizing the need for intervention. Mature clusters are hand harvested, delicately pressed and undergo a gentle fermentation to extract the most fruit flavors.

Adria Christmas Sparkling Asti, Italy              

Get your sparkle on with this annual tradition! Lovely, bright fruit flavors perfect as a hostess gift or to enjoy with family and friends. Serve it with cranberry juice to make a punch or cocktail. Or serve with Christmas cookies and pies.

Sposato (Rosé of Malbec, Bonarda, Cabernet Franc), Argentina        

New release for 2019! Harvested early gives this wine faint red color, clean and bright flavors. Aromas of red fruits, citrus and elegant exotic fruits. Acidity on the finish will brighten any dish.

Maison Philippe Viallet (Chasselas, Chardonnay, Altesse, Jacquere), Savoie, France             

Bright light straw color. Discreet nose of stewed fruits and honey. Mouthfeel is rich and lush with good minerality and slight savory finish.

** We recommend chilling your whites but taking them out of the fridge  30-40 minutes before serving for the flavors to open up in room temperature.

Reds

Di Giovanna (organic Cabernet, Merlot, Nero D’Avola, Syrah) Sicily, Italy          

Plush nose, black cherry and blueberries, a hint of bitter chocolate and medium, ripe palate. Great food wine.

Aplanta (Arogonez, Alicante Bouschet), Alentejano, Portugal             

Smooth and round. This wine will please the Cab and Malbec drinker. Pairs well with a variety of foods from grilled meats to sharp cheeses. Aged 6 months in French oak.

Ugly Sweater (red blend), California  

The perfect holiday gift. Enjoy with your favorite ugly Christmas sweater.

Ca’Del Sarto (Barbera), D’Alba, Italy            

Fruit, vibrant, a little earth, a touch of spice at the finish. Perfect with your sausage calzone or Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner on Christmas Eve!

St. Christopher Glühwein, Germany   

My mother’s favorite wine at Christmas time. Serve slightly chilled or warm with mulling spices. A merry tradition in Germany.

Trentadue (Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Carignan), California Intense black fruit aromas, blueberries and cherry cola. Once wine opens up, ripe plums, vanilla, maple and cocoa will appear. Slightly toasted oak balanced by fresh and juicy finish. Perfect cold weather wine.

 **We recommend chilling all of your reds down to 60-64 degrees before serving.
