Gift card is big enough I can go there twice. Def. a chance for me to maybe try a glass of something new as a wine by the glass if they have it. Maybe a way to ease me into a new wine instead of spending $15-$20 on a bottle of it at a wine shop.

Most Greek red wines are supposed to be earthy, dark, herbal, and vegetal, so why should they try to be something else??? The foods are made to go with the cuisine, which aside from the coastal areas, is conducive to those types of reds. Anyway, great show. Always love it when you give props to Gewürztraminer! QOTD: My sister-in-law works at Trezo Vino in Overland Park, Kansas, so there, naturally. It's hard to find good wine bars in Kansas, and they have a good variety and have well-priced flights and by-the-glass. P.S. When are we going to see Lizzie???

It’s 2005 Erasmios Agiorgitiko. Agiorgitiko is the varietal which is also known as aghiorghitiko, mavro nemeas and St. George. It’s oaky and I like it. I’m beginning to feel a bit awkward about saying this. I suspect I’m sounding phony, like I’m portraying a character. I don’t mean to sound this way. There are non-oaky wines that I like, but I don’t seem to be finding any oaky wines that I don’t like. I like red wine and I’m having a good time. My comments are sincere. I’m also watching and enjoying the wine episode of Columbo as I drink it. I guess it would be more appropriate to be drinking an Italian wine. Oh well.
