Jun 27 2007

"The Food & Wines of Greece" Wine Dinner. Starting at 7:00 p.m.

In association with Wine Ventures, AXIA invites you to enjoy a specially prepared menu designed to pair exquisitely with a carefully selected range of quality Greek wines. Reservations Required. Call AXIA at 201.569.5999

Timoleon Vlahopoulos, AXIA’s general manager and resident wine expert, along with Wine Venture’s Craig McManus and Bob Eckert will introduce you to the reasons behind the burgeoning popularity of Greek wines and walk you through the unique and subtle facets of the wines chosen for the evening.

We welcome you to take advantage of this opportunity to become a part of the leading edge of developments in the wine industry as Greek wines undergo a revolution in which quality, individuality and history are the hallmarks of a new generation of Greek wine producers beginning to make their mark worldwide.

Applying Greece’s unique traditions that have evolved over thousands of years of continuous winemaking, the depth and quality of Greek wines are rivaling those from vineyards of France, Italy, and the US.

Having progressed well beyond restina and armed with an ocean of indigenous cultivars, a superior climate for grape growing, and an abundance of technological resources, Greek wine now presents exciting new--and ancient--possibilities for wine lovers around the world.

Enjoy a delectable Greek-inspired menu along with an entertaining and educational wine tasting experience as we showcase a new age of modern wines born from Greece’s ancient vines.
