August Kesseler “The Daily August” Pinot Noir – 750 mL

Tasting / Profile

• Sourced from the slate-soiled slopes of the Rheingau region in Germany — from sites such as Assmannshausen, Lorch and Rüdesheim. 

• 100% Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder). 

• Style: medium-bodied, with bright red and dark fruit — cherry, raspberry, occasionally blackberry — plus subtle earthy or rooty undertones, gentle spice, and fine, smooth tannins. 

• Texture & finish: silky and balanced with a fresh acidity and a clean, elegant finish. Many consider it a top-value entry Pinot from a serious German estate.

Menu Versatility

• Ideal by-the-glass red — accessible enough for casual diners, but with enough structure and character to satisfy wine-savvy guests.

• Versatile food pairing: works with grilled poultry, pork, lighter red meats, mushroom dishes, tomato-based pasta, veggie-forward plates — red fruit and moderate acidity pair well with a wide range.

• Good for wine flights or “European reds” lists when you want to showcase Pinot from outside the usual Burgundy/California/OR crowd.

 Operational Efficiency

• Standard 750 mL format — fits existing wine racks, shelving and glassware without changing setup.

• Produced by a well-established, quality-driven house (August Kesseler) — stable supply, consistent quality year to year, minimal vintage-to-vintage risk. 

• Because this is their entry-level Pinot offering, turnover tends to be higher, and it's easier to price for volume rather than ultra-premium margins.

 Profit Potential

• Value positioning: gives you a quality “import Pinot Noir” at a more approachable price — allows you to price glass pours with good margin while still offering a perceived premium from German origin.

• Appeals to guests exploring European reds beyond mainstream Bordeaux/Italy — can be marketed in flights or as an “off-beat Pinot.”

• Reliable turnover potential in wine-by-glass lists or house-red rotation — good for steady volume plus margin.
