TELLER WINES

August Teller 12

 Whites

Dal Maso (Garganega- pronounced Gar-GAN-nya), Italy       

Unusually rich mouthfeel for this varietal. Apricots, peach, a touch of citrus balance out the finish. A bit floral too. Lovely with fish, chicken, and soft cheeses.

Liegeois Dupont (Rosé of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre), Red Mountain, Washington  

An old-world style wine made by an American winemaker in Washington state. The name honors his French wife. Dry, terroir-driven flavors will delight the most discerning.

San Huberto (Torrontes), Argentina              

Classically floral, aged in both stainless and oak. Bold, rich, and good fruit with mineral finish.

Matthew Fritz (Chardonnay), Central Coast, California            

Bright, fresh and loaded with tropical fruit flavors, integrated vanilla making this wine a perfect partner with poultry, light pastas and seafood.

Dr. Loosen (Riesling), Mosel Valley, Germany      

An off-dry wine with all that peach fruit character you’ve grown to love. Fresh and fruity with a touch of sweetness. Perfect solo sipper or with spicy Asian cuisine.

Domaine De la Potine (Sauvignon Blanc), Loire, Valley, France           

Organic. Owner and winemaker Vincent Ricard vinifies his wines in a tank to preserve the inherent fruitiness of young-vine grapes. One of the wines we have carried consistently for the past 17 years.

** 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

Domaine Mas Barrau (Organic Cabernet Franc), France          

Wild ripeness of sweet-scented fruit twinned with an edgy woodland perfume. Palate is long and rich, with juicy fleshy flavors.

Maggio (Old Vine Zinfandel), Lodi, California      

Rudy Maggio was the patriarch of 5^th generation vintners from his family home and farm started in 1938. This Zin is full of ripe fruit flavors and approachable with any BBQ foods.

Friends (Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah), Sonoma, California

Owner Giovanni Pedroncelli welcomed friends to his wine cellar since the 1960s. This velvety smooth red blend was made in honor of this tradition. Enjoy with friends. Try the white Friends (Sauvignon Blanc) too!

Sposato (Bonarda), Mendoza, Argentina         

Deep red color with a slight of violet. In the nose, it shows intense red fruit aromas of strawberry, cherry and blackberry. Soft tannins and smooth finish.

Fantini (Sangiovese), Italy        

Succulent acidity and intense cherry and herbal flavors make this your everyday wine. Serve slightly chilled with pasta and Asiago cheese.

Chateau Marjolet Laudun Village (Grenache, Syrah), Rhone, France

70% Grenache, 30% Syrah. Aromatic with nose of Morello cherries, blackberries, black currants and a soft touch of spices. Generous and lush palate on licorice and blueberry finish.

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