AROUND THE BARREL:
OCTOBER’S FEATURED WINES

Our selections for October are perfectly priced to take you into Fall’s cooler temperatures:
RED: Andre Brunel Cotes du Rhone, France | $12
This is what Cotes du Rhone tastes like when you’re drinking in France wondering why you cant find good inexpensive wine back home. Mostly grenache with pepper, spice and dried cherry flavors. Great balance and good acidity. Nice and dry with an extraordinarily smooth mouth feel. Medium-full body.
WHITE: Sass Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley, Oregon | $15
A recent tasting with owner/winemaker Jerry Sass reinforced what we already knew:  Sass makes great wine. This pinot gris has lush fall apple/pear fruit flavors and aromas with a rich, ripe texture and lingering finish. Take this to the oyster roast.
ROSE: Antis Malbec Rose, Argentina | $15
This Malbec Rosé is made from the free-run juice of the Antis Malbec Reserve. It has tremendous fruit & mid-palate texture and is reminiscent of a Bandol rose in its richness and long finish. Dry, full fruit with lots of flavor and great length. This wine is perfect for Indian summer evenings.

We’re always excited about September here at Ted’s. It’s the beginning of tailgating season, there’s incredible produce coming in from our local farms, and the cooler temperatures make grilling enjoyable again. It all kicks into gear this weekend, and we’ve got the butcher counter stocked with all your needs for Labor Day grilling and the start of football season! We’ve also re-stocked the shelves with favorite products like Harvest Song all-natural preserves, Rick’s Picks artisanal pickled vegetables and Salumeria Biellese salamis.

We hope you will join us in October for our very special 5-year anniversary celebration. We’re pulling out all the stops for this annual event, scheduled for Saturday, October 16. Mark your calendars and look for further details coming soon to your inbox. We hope to see you there!

BEER VS. WINE:
A UNIQUE TWIST AT THIS MONTH’S CRAFT BEER DINNER
beer and wineWine and beer enthusiasts delight: You’re all in for a special treat this month at our craft beer dinner! Our menu will feature the bounty of the season’s local produce, and each course will  be paired with both a craft beer AND wine.

Wine has long been considered the connoisseur’s beverage of choice for pairing with fine food.  However, with the increased appreciation and quality of today’s craft beers, savvier consumers are starting to realize that fine beers often pair just as well with many foods.

We’re excited to offer Charleston’s first comparative tasting of beer and wine at this four-course dinner. Come judge which pairing you think stands up the best to each course.

When: Thurs., Sept. 23 | 7:30 pm
Cost: $48 per person
RSVP: 577-0094

CSAs START THIS MONTH

csa_boxHave you signed up for a fall CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) yet? This is the best way to enjoy fresh, local, just-picked produce on a weekly basis. We’re excited to serve as a pick-up location for two CSAs this fall: Pinckney’s Produce on Tuesdays and Thackery Farmson Thursdays.

We are offering all CSA members picking up at Ted’s this season a 10% discount on our Featured Wines of the Month(see below for details on this month’s selections) and 10% off all butcher counter orders on CSA pick up days.

MAL’S MONTHLY WINE PICKS
2009 Apaltagua Chardonnay Reserva, Chile $12
We featured the Pinot Noir from this winery last month and it blew us away. The Chardonnay is a fruit forward style with nice acidity that will please those interested in a food-friendly wine. As wine critic Steve Tanzer says, “A refreshingly brisk, tart style of chardonnay, finishing with notes of ginger and honeysuckle.” Pair with any of Chef Eva’s salads or Ted’s all-natural chicken from upstate SC.

2009 Ameztois Rubentis Txakolina Rose, Spain $21
Charleston’s Party Wine is here and Ted’s has the last of the 2009 vintage in Charleston! This dry Spanish rose is low in alcohol and incredibly refreshing. All the freshness of traditional white txakoli, but with a slight taste of strawberries and red candied fruit due to the prominence of the red Hondaribbi Beltza grape in the blend. Great for a warm, late-summer evening. Traditional glass carafes called “Porrons” are available for purchase with advance notice.

2008 Les Hexagonales Gamay, France $13
Some will recognize Gamay as the grape used to make the light wine Beaujolais. It can also be decidedly more complex when it hails from the Touraine appellation in the Loire valley. Low alcohol, light to medium body, juicy and earthy. It’s perfect on its own at the beginning of the evening, or pair with Ted’s fresh Scottish Salmon for the perfect “end of summer” meal.

We offer deals on bulk wine purchases! 10% off 6 bottles;
15% off any case | OK to mix and match
