Winemaker Happy Hour with Vangelis Gerovassiliou!

We are pleased to welcome Greek winemaker Vangelis Gerovassiliou to Book + Bottle on December 4th from 4-6pm for a free happy hour wine tasting! He is celebrated for his contributions to the Greek wine industry and considered a legend in the wine world. After studying agriculture in Greece, Vangelis attended the University of Bordeaux and studied oenology with his famous mentor, Emile Peynaud. Ktima Gerovassiliou was founded by Vangelis in 1981 in Epanomi, 15 miles southeast of Thessaloniki. Vangelis is also credited with the revival of Malagousia, an ancient indigenous Greek grape varietal on the verge of extinction. Many consider him to be the father of this old white grape varietal which yields full bodied floral & aromatic wines that are winning awards at prestigious international wine competitions. He has several projects that he has founded throughout Greece and he will be pouring a sampling of some of those, including his illustrious Malagousia. Yamas!!
