Greece is the Word, 2

About this event

Few wine traditions can rival the history of Greece. Vines have been cultivated there for more than 4,000 years, and today a new generation of winemakers is introducing wine lovers to an incredible variety of native grapes found nowhere else in the world. From the volcanic soils of Santorini to the cool mountain vineyards of the mainland, Greek wines are known for their vibrant acidity, food-friendly character, and distinctive sense of place. Whether you're already a fan or completely new to Greek wine, this blind tasting is a wonderful opportunity to discover just how diverse—and delicious—these wines can be. **Please bring:** **1\. A bottle of Greek wine** (red or white) in the **$20–50** range to contribute to the blind tasting. *If your budget permits, please consider bringing an Assyrtiko* *from Santorini. These typically retail in the **$40–50** range and are widely regarded as some of Greece's most celebrated and distinctive wines, thanks to the island's unique volcanic terroir.* **Please skip Retsina** when selecting your bottle. Retsina is a traditional Greek wine flavored with pine resin, a style that dates back thousands of years when resin was used to seal wine vessels. Its distinctive herbal, piney flavor tends to inspire strong opinions—people usually either love it or hate it! We'll have one bottle available to sample together at the end of the evening. **2\. A plain brown paper wine bag** (the kind the wine shop gives you when you purchase your bottle). If you have a few extras, please bring those too. **3\. Four wine glasses** **4\. Optional:** A snack to share. There are only **12 spots** available, so be sure to reserve yours soon! If your plans change, please update your RSVP as early as possible so someone on the wait list can join us. We can't wait to welcome you to our home in Forest Hill for an evening of great wine, good conversation, and a few surprises. The exact address will be posted in the event comments and emailed to…
