Do I like it?

  1. Would I drink a glass of this wine? Yep
  2. Would I drink a bottle? Yes – especially on a hot summer afternoon.  But I’d struggle to drink a bottle during the winter
  3. Would I buy a second bottle? Yes, I’d buy a second bottle of this wine.  It’s a random varietal, it’s unique, it’s Greek.  It’s something different, not something you drink every day.
  4. Would I buy a case? No.  This wine is fun and different, but not necessarily something I want to drink all the time.
  5. Is this wine a game changer?  Would I call up all my wine friends and tell them they have to try it? Yes and No.  This wine doesn’t knock my socks off, but it does make me want to learn more about Greek white wines.

Is it a good gift?

  1. If someone gave this wine to me, would I re-gift it to a non-wine drinker rather than drinking it? Nope, it’s interesting enough that I’d want to drink it myself
  2. Would I give this wine to a friend as a gift? For a ‘let’s try some fun wines from a different country’ party – absolutely.  For a typical, everyday party or occasion, probably not.
  3. Would I give this wine to a wine snob as a gift? I may not give it to a wine snob as a gift, but I would serve it if they came to my house for a party.
  4. If someone brought this wine to a party, would I be excited? Absolutely. Not only is it unique with a good story, but it also tastes really good.
  5. If someone who is an ass brings this wine to my party, is it so good I’d overlook their personality, and invite them again? No, it’s a good wine and has a great story, but it’s not quite that good.
