A Wine Program with Point of View
The Tesora cellar is curated for energy and precision. We champion producers who farm responsibly and express place—bottles with lift, texture, and balance that elevate the plate rather than overpower it. From benchmark regions to rising terroirs, our goal is simple: make exploration effortless and delicious.
By-the-glass flights, Coravin pours, and thoughtful decanting give you access to a broad spectrum—whether you’re tasting widely or toasting a milestone.
Pillars of the Tesora Cellar
Selections express terroir—minerality, fruit profile, and structure that speak of origin.
Acid, tannin, and texture tuned to our menu—bottles that refresh between bites.
Flights, half-pours, and rare-by-the-glass options to explore without commitment.
By the Glass & Flights
- Mineral Whites: Albariño, Chablis, mountain Sauvignon—saline, citrus-driven, ideal for crudo.
- Aromatic Whites: Riesling (dry to off-dry), Gewürztraminer—lift for spice and herbs.
- Skin-Contact: textural Friulano & Ribolla—bridges smoke, umami, and roasted veg.
- Silky Reds: Pinot Noir, Gamay—crisp, red-fruited, perfect for poultry and brassicas.
- Structured Reds: Sangiovese, Nebbiolo—tannin and acid for richer, slow-cooked dishes.
- Coravin Moments: taste cellar-only bottles by the sip—vintage contrasts and micro-pairings.
Pairing Philosophy
We pair by structure, not status. The right bottle frames flavor and keeps the palate curious.
- Seafood & Citrus: mineral whites amplify brightness and texture.
- Roast & Char: cool-climate reds offer lift without weight.
- Spice & Umami: skin-contact whites and off-dry Riesling create balance.
- Rich & Slow: higher-tannin reds with savory complexity to match depth.
- Zero-Proof: tea macerations, verjus spritzes, and spice sodas with wine-like architecture.
Highlights from the List
- Old World Classics: Burgundy, Barolo, Rioja—benchmark expressions for timeless pairings.
- Volcanic Energy: Etna Rosso/Bianco, Canary Islands—smoky mineral lines and savory drive.
- Coastal Whites: Atlantic-influenced varietals with saline cut and citrus edges.
- Mountain Purity: Alpine regions delivering freshness, herbs, and crystalline acidity.
- Bubbles: grower-method sparklers and méthode ancestrale for aperitif and celebration.
Service Matters
- Temperature control for each style—crisp whites lifted, reds served with freshness.
- Decanting for aeration or sediment, chosen case by case.
- Stemware selected for aroma focus and balance in hand.
