Episode #217 - The Serious Side of Retsina

In this episode of WineWire TV, Adam digs under the dirty underbelly of the much maligned pine laced Greek wine called Retsina. Unbeknownst to us all Salvatino, the mighty little grape that is the base of Retsina, produces a beautiful mineral focused and fragrant wine. Especially, when crafted by the experienced hands of the winemakers at Mylonas Winery.
