Assyrtiko & Agiorgitiko Greek Tasting at Christos' House
Details
This month's tasting is a deep dive into 2 of the best Greek grape varieties, Assyrtiko and Agiorgitiko. You can see 4 of the wines we will taste in the photo.
Assyrtiko originates from Santorini where it produces world-class wines from very old vines and we'll taste a couple of these. This grape variety is now grown all over Greece. and we'll taste 3 other Assyrtikos from Northern Greece and the island of Evia.
The region of Nemea in the Peloponnese is one of Greece's 2 best red wine regions and the wines are made exclusively from the Agiorgitiko grape (roughly translated as St. George!). We'll taste 4 high quality examples from top producers in Nemea.
Numbers will be limited to 12 people seated round one table, so almost a bottle of fine wine per person. During the tasting a selection of fine cheeses, pates, and other food will be served.
