This Week’s Tasting

August 8th, 2020

This week we’re sitting down with Kristie Tacey, owner and winemaker at Tessier Winery. Kristie’s making some of the best minimalist wine anywhere and we’re looking at one of her most popular selections and one of her newest. Join us this Saturday as we take a hands off look at winemaking.

Tessier Winery is the product of Kristie Tacey’s love for science and wine. Originally working in biotechnology and on the Human Genome Project, Kristie’s passion began to sway toward wine and the science behind it. Today, she is making some of the most exciting small lot wine around.

We are excited to walk through a few of her wines and take a fascinating trip into minimalist winemaking and maximum results.

Altamana + Riedel Decanter Offering

We love the Altamana Malbec 2015 but it really needs a decanter… So we found one that we could pair with it.

Sold separately, they would be $29.98.

Together with coupon code Decanter, you’ll get them for $24.99.

The Altamana is a Grand Reserve wine with a tremendous about of oak and the classic eucalyptus green notes that are popular in Chilean red wines. This wine needs at least 30 minutes to breath and the best vessel is a decanter.

We found the Riedel Merlot decanter, an upright, delicate decanter that works beautifully with this wine to gently open the fruit and subdue the oak. As the wine opens, the eucalyptic green notes turn to a soft mint note and really accentuate the fruit.

Riedel is an industry leading crystal and glass manufacturer that produce some of the best wine glasses and decanters in the world.
