Staff Pick Notes

This is such an easily appealing wine that would likely have a much larger following if people weren't scared off by the difficult-to-pronounce grape "Agioritiko". But while it might be difficult to correctly pronounce, it couldn't be easier to enjoy. Agioritiko blended with about 20% Syrah, the wine is comfortably medium-bodied and generously fruited with really soft tannins and sufficient acidity to give refreshment. Pair this wine with nearly anything and serve with a light chill. Oh yeah, and it also has a screwcap. You're welcome.

Glossary

Agiorgitiko

Pronounced "ah yor YEE ti ko", this is one of the most prolific red varieties of Greece. This hard-to-pronounce grape is often called “St. George” for international marketing purposes, and makes some beautiful, easy-drinking, light to medium-bodied wines. If you’re a fan of fruit-driven reds like Pinot Noir or Gamay, this is a good grape to try out.
