Wine Wisdom: Greek Getaway (Week 2)

While we may not be able to travel to beautiful wine destinations this summer, we are bringing you a virtual wine getaway to Greece through our September Wine Wisdom series! Join us as travel from North to South exploring wines from:

  • Macedonia (Naoussa Xinomavro)

  • Sterea Ellada (Chalkida Malagousia and Attica Savatiano)

  • The Pelopennese (Nemia Agiorgitiko and Mantinia Moschofilero), and 

  • The Cyclades (Santorini Assyrtico) 

Wine Wisdom is a 3-week series, in which we will taste two wines per week. There will be a WSET-style theory lesson on each wine, followed by a tutored tasting, and then an open question and answer period.

The series is suitable for all student levels – beginner to WSET Diploma. While we will include great detail about each wine (grape, region, climate, geography, topography, viticulture, and winemaking) we will ensure that even students just starting out do not feel overwhelmed.
