SUMMARY:A "GREEK VS ITALIAN" EXCEPTIONAL WINE TASTING DISCOVERY!

Standouts include Aglianico \,Barbera\, Cortese\, Friulano\, Nero D’ Avola. Among Greece’s more than 300 indigenous grapes\, several are millennia old. Grapes such as Assyrtiko\, Limnio\, Robola and Liatiko are just a few that draw particular attention for their world class quality\, with traditional and modern styles that align with 21st century palates! This evening of supreme taste and discovery will be occurring in one of the most elegant and delectable Greek restaurants in all of the 5 boroughs!
