I'm in the mood for something completely different so I picked up this red from Nemea, Greece. It's 100% Agiorgitiko, an indigenous Greek varietal. On the palate it's medium bodied with an uplifting acidity, and tannin that feels like it was stronger when it was younger but now softening with age. There's a lot of earth, dried herbs, and chocolate with fruits of raisin and plum. It's pairing so good with this triple cream brie, and would be even better with wild mushroom brie. This is a solid bottle of wine for $13, and I'm happy with the purchase and my "something different" experience.
