____________________________

Answer: Agiorgitiko
Pronounced [ah-zheor-GEE-tee-koh], this full-bodied red grape is the most widely planted and noblest of the grapes from Greece. Sometimes blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and sometimes made into Rosé, this grape has varying degrees of quality. The best quality comes from an area called Nemea where the cooler climate is better suited for the grape. This fun wine is featured in the Everyday Libations grouping, don't forget to try it.
