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. The wine list is entirely Greek. The. Whole. Freaking. Thing. Feel free to explore and ask questions! 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 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. 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

WHITE WINES BY THE BOTTLE Light, racy white 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. Kir Yianni Paranga Roditis/Malagouzia, PGI Florina, Macedonia 2016... 40 Argyros Estate Atlantis Assyrtiko/Athiri/Aidani PGI Cyclades 2016... 45 Gets less respect than Rodney Dangerfield. Should not.

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. Kourtaki Retsina PDO Retsina NV...25 Where it all began...

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.

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.

Big, explosive and prone to bad decisions, just like the king of the gods.
