Needing a reprieve from the previous wine but not wanting to break the bank I grab a Greek bottle of Agiorgitiko. Zacharias Vineyards made this one for our tasting pleasure and at $8 a bottle its worth a shot.This wine is made in the Nemea region of the Peloponnese in Greece. Agiorgitiko is one of the big commercial grapes in Greece. It appears that a good vintner is able to make this grape do just about anything. This one is a simple, slightly tannic dry red. For the price it is good. But I don't think it can hold its own against tonight's dinner of vinegared chicken.
