I just started reading Janice Robinson's "The Oxford Companion to Wine" still in "A" and found RUclipsd Agiorgitiko. Thank you for a short, sweet and comprehensive introduction. Looking forward to drinking this wine.

This is the only red wine I drink! It is truly a gift given by the God Dionysus to the people of Nemea.

Thank you so much for doing this video! I'm a sommelier and I had a blend that included agiorgitiko about 8 years ago and it was fantastic. I could not remember the name, only "blood of Hercules." Thank you for helping me reconnect with such a wonderful varietal.
