TEETER-TOTTER
Benoit Touquette’s journey on the leading edge of fine winemaking spans continents. From
Bordeaux to Napa, he built in those early years the foundation of his talents under worldrenowned
winemaker Michel Rolland and then left France to work under Andy Erickson and
explore the uncharted possibilities in Napa Valley. He soon became one of Napa Valley’s
most sought after winemakers, crafting 28 - 100 point wines along the way and culminating
as winemaker/partner at Realm Cellars. Benoit started Teeter-Totter to produce wines with a
superior quality : price ratio, effortless approachability and irresistible charm.
