Tilly Takeover: Greece

From the land that brought us the Olympics, democracy, and the world's best salad (sorry Caesar) comes our latest Tilly Takeover... Greece!

Join us for an evening of cracking Greek wines curated by Barney Fallows of Déjà Vu Wine Co., and a special Greek mezze plate for one night only. Unlike the Olympics, this event rewards participation, not just excellence.

Barney is known as one of Australia's leading experts on Greek wine, and is all set to take you on vinous tour.

One of the oldest wine-producing regions, dating back thousands of years, Greece is home to over 300 indigenous grape varietals. With countless unique regional microclimates, soils and elevations, it’s no surprise that the country is producing some of the best, lesser known wines in the world. There are vineyards all over the country, from the cooler climate, high-altitude regions in the north, to the sea salt-kissed volcanic grapes of the Aegean and Ionian Islands, into the arid heart of the mainland and on to the hotter southern areas of the Peloponnese.

On the night, there'll be Argyros Estate 'Atlantis White' Assyrtiko, an electric example of what the volcanic soils of Santorini are capable of. Papagiannakos 'Old Vines' Savatiano is a clean, herbal white grown on the outskirts of Athens. Fom the foothills of Mount Olympus itself comes Zafeirakis Malagousia, an elegant, aromatic white. There'll be a pale, structured Thymiopoulos Rosé de Xinomavro with notes of strawberry, and juicy Gaia 'Monograph' Agiorgitiko red.

These and more! Try as many as you like by the glass, bottle, or two flights of four, showcasing different styles ($55 or $70).

To eat, that Greek mezze plate ($30), designed to share. Olives! Dolmades! Taramasalata! Tzatziki! Freshly baked bread! Praise Dionysus 🙌!
