1 GREEK WINE The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken. - Homer To alcohol! The cause of... and solution to... all of life s problems. - Homer Simpson Don t panic. I assure you all is well, but there is a whole lot to see here. The wine list is entirely Greek. The. Whole. Freaking. Thing. Nothing from anywhere else. So feel free to explore, ask questions, and I promise there are wines here you will love. Wines you will love so much you will hug them and squeeze them and name them George. The wines are listed by body weight and style. That way if you, the intrepid wine drinker, know what style you are looking for, you can find the right wine. You love Malbec? Greece has a wine for you. Sancerre your thing? We got you. Either way we are here to help you find a great bottle. Again, don t panic. Ask any questions you want about wine but in the end the answer is 42. Oh, and we sell it all retail as well. When men drink, then they are rich and successful and win lawsuits and are happy and help their friends. Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever. - Aristophanes

5 WHITE WINES BY THE BOTTLE Light, racy wines that are clean and bright If you are looking for a refreshing, easy-drinking white wine, you are in the right place. This is the wheelhouse of Greek white winemaking. Traditionally Greeks love their white wines in this style to accompany their cuisine. These wines sing when paired with seafood. Even if these wines may have nuance and great character, they are light in style and never heavy. No oaky butter bombs here, folks. Kir Yianni Paranga Roditis/Malagouzia, PGI Florina, Macedonia Argyros Estate Atlantis Assyrtiko/Athiri/Aidani PGI Cyclades Gets less respect than Rodney Dangerfield. Should not. Should not I tells ya! Biblia Chora Sauvignon Blanc/Assyrtiko PGI Pangeon, Macedonia Protopapa Sauvignon Blanc PGI Mt. Pangeon, Macedonia Rhous Muscat/Vidiano PGI Crete Moraitis Paros Monemvassia PDO Paros Harlaftis Savatiano PGI Attiki Oenodos dry Moschato PGI Peloponnesos Tselepos Vieilles Vignes Assyrtiko PDO Santorini Santo Assyrtiko PDO Santorini Pavilidis Thema Sauvignon Blanc/Assyrtiko PGI Drama

6 Medium-bodied and aromatic white wines So this is a tricky category. A good tricky. Mainly because even when Greek white wines are medium bodied they keep the same clean, racy finish that is a hallmark of all Greek wines. On the mid-palate these wines certainly have richness along with being lush and sexy, yet are never too heavy or ponderous. Gerovassiliou Sauvignon Blanc PGI Epanomi, Macedonia Gerovassiliou Malagousia/Assyrtiko PGI Epanomi, Macedonia Boutari Kallisti Reserve Assyrtiko PDO Santorini Troupis Moschofilero PDO Mantinia, Peloponnesos Argyros Aidani PGI Cyclades Agyros Assyrtiko PDO Santorini Evampelos Ghi Prosperous Vineyard Assyrtiko PGI Central Greece Papagiannakos Savatiano PGI Attica, Central Greece Skouras Salto Moschofilero PGI Peloponnesos Gai a Thalassitis Assyrtiko PDO Santorini Sigalas Assyrtiko PDO Santorini The Assyrtiko that started the modern Santorini revolution.

7 Full-bodied, sumptuous white wines Here are the decadent, opulent whites that make you have naughty thoughts. Once uncommon in Greece, there were at first few full-bodied wines from Greece because Greeks traditionally liked their white wines very light to go with their largely vegetable and seafood based cuisine. There are now a wide range of glorious, full-bodied wines that remain truly Greek, yet satisfy a modern desire for the big and bold. Sigalas Nychteri Assyrtiko PDO Santorini Sigalas Barrel Fermented Assyrtiko PDO Santorini Free Your Mind...and Your Ass Will Follow Parparoussis Barrel Fermented Assyrtiko/Athiri PGI Achaia, Peloponnesos Skouras Dum Vinum Sperum Chardonnay PGI Peloponnesos Skouras Eclectique Viognier PGI Argolida, Peloponnesos Skouras Almyra Chardonnay PGI Peloponnesos Argyros French Oak Fermented Assyrtiko PDO Santorini Biblia Chora Areti Assyrtiko PGI Pangeon, Macedonia Nerantzi Asprouda PGI Serres, Macedonia When Beyonce and I hang out, we drink this.

8 RED WINE BY THE BOTTLE Light, graceful and refined red wines Always maligned, never appreciated for their amazing versatility, light red wines are such great matches with a wide range of food. Greek light reds, in particular, do this brillantly. Stunning aromatics, soft red fruit flavors and supple tannins make these wines so delicious.
