2021 Valle d’Aosta Traminer Aromatico

Château Feuillet
Discount Eligible $35.00
SOLD OUT

When driving through Italy’s Valle d’Aosta, watch for lofty vineyards and complicated, multilingual exit signs. Both are influenced by their French neighbors in the north but have a decidedly regional character—much like this Traminer Aromatico. It pays lovely homage to its French cousin, Alsatian Gewurztraminer, but with a Valdostano interpretation: the nose is floral, but these are surely mountain wildflowers, and the palate is perfectly crisp and quenching.

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
