Staff Pick Notes

In my travels to Uruguay, I was introduced to a national hero—Tannat. This wine grape made such a great impact on me that I fell for it from the first glass. Then I took a deep dive and studied its roots and birthplace. I discovered that Tannat originated in the heart of Gascony, in Southwest France. Jean-Marc Laffitte, owner of Château Laffitte-Teston, began bottling wine from his family's domain in 1975. He makes Tannat shine in this bottle. Pair this with anything from the grill, especially pork chops, chorizo, and grilled asparagus.
