Everything Old is New Again - The Revival of Greek Wines

Saturday, June 29th
4:30 - 7:00

This weekend we invite you to come experience the Greek Wine renaissance. Few wine growing regions can match the long history of wine production that Greece has. Yet many of its wines are still very foreign to American consumers. Far too many American wine lovers think only of Retsina, the ubiquitous Greek white wine blended with pine tar, or any of numerous red wines dominated by the flavors of tired old oak barrels. Those flavors are remnants of the past.  Better agricultural practices and updated wine making philosophy and techniques are bringing fresh new life to classic Greek wine grapes.  In recent years, the Greek wine industry has undergone tremendous improvements with serious investments in modern wine making technology. The new generation of native winemakers is being trained in the best wine schools around the world and their efforts are paying off as Greek wines continue to receive the highest awards in international competitions as well as the recognition they deserve throughout the world. This Saturday we have a wonderful selection that will show you just how delicious this new era of Greek wines promises to be!
