Nothing like a cheesy picture to get you excited for the 4th, right?! Since the holiday lands on the first Thursday of the month, we want you to have wine BEFORE that day so you don't have to run any errands on your day off!

It's a Greek July while we continue to channel Grecian summer! While we love Greek wine, our club isn't always this Greek-heavy. But we wanted to include Liatiko for July-atiko (thanks, Nikos, for that one), and a fun little comparison in there... two bottles of Vlahiko (an indigenous Greek varietal characterized by fresh red berries, green leaves, and spices) - one still and one sparkling! Of course, there's classic bubbles to pop for celebration and plenty of good BBQ and day drinking wine in there. So be sure to come by and snag it tonight or tomorrow! See you soon and have a safe & happy 4th of July!

HIGHLIGHT Zoinos Winery 

 Viniculture in Epirus and specifically in the region of Zitsa has a long history ... Three indigenous scarce varieties grow in the region, Debina [white] and two red varieties Vlahiko and Bekari.

The sun is shining, folks! Come grab your weekend wine! This month we're featuring NEW Greek wines and some OG Italian Sangiovese. Does it get much cooler than that?! Read below for a little snippet on some of these estates!

Charalaboglou Estate

Organic Vineyards, Dry Farming, Ancient Terroir

George Charalaboglou unwrapped the thread with his grandparents' stories about wines and tsipouro and weaved the wine road in the small vineyard, just 2 acres, of Nikolas' father. With effort, patience, and perseverance since 1977 the vineyard was spread on 150 acres of organic vine cultivation on the slopes of Paggaio in Krinida, Serres, Municipality of Amphipolis.  In 1999 he founded the wine bottling company and in 2003 the construction of the visitable winery inside the vineyard with a reception hall of state-of-the-art bottling machines began."

La Gerla 

OG in Tuscany

"The vineyards at La Gerla lie right on the Montalcino hill at 320 m.a.s.l. right where the slope softens; a small winery which, in just a few short years, has become a great cru of this Tuscan territory surrounded by the Orcia and Ombrone Valleys. 

April showers bring May flowers, right?! This sunny day is making me hope so. While the blossoms are almost gone, we have ROSÈ to brighten our field of vision! NEW to Agora's wine club is wine from Mexico. A red and a rosé are featured this month and we hope you have fun exploring a new region of the world.

See you SOON for pickup!

FEATURED WINES INCLUDE:

• SANTO TOMAS MERLOT (the oldest winery in Mexico and fruit from very old vines, a fresh take on Merlot)
• CICADA'S SONG ROSÉ (one of the first 2023 European rosés to hit Seattle! Tibouren and Rolle aka Vermentino - delightful and fresh perfect for that upcoming picnic)
• DAMOLI VALPOLICELLA (light and breezy, clean, with a dusting of tannin - just the perfect Spring red. If you like this, be sure to try their 100% Corvina sparkling brut on our shelf too!)
• PAOLONI ROSÉ (100% Sangiovese from an Italian living in Mexico for over 25 years - fresh and zesty, yesss)
• VALLE DELL'ACATE FRAPPATO (are y'all loving frappato yet? 6th generation female winemaker providing a vibrant, floral, elegant Frappato from SE Sicily)
• MAS PEYRE 1 ÈRES SOIFS CARIGNAN (quaffable! try chilled)

Phew, that first Thursday took awhile... we're almost a week into March! We love y'alls enthusiasm and are so excited to get these wines into your hands. This is a fun bunch of super rare varietals that are hardly ever seen or seen used in this form. Specifically, a sparkling Nerello Mascalese (indigenous Sicilian RED varietal) and a still Bracchetto (traditionally made into a sparkling sweet wine). Woo! I hope this is fun for y'all. We're channelling Spring to arrive with this selection. As always, let Katlynn know if you have any questions!! See you soon!

There's no better way to kick off a fabulous February than with a fabulous box of wine! Sounds familiar? Yes, I'm over here manifesting fabulousness month by month. A lotta Italian, a touch French and a scosh local. See you soon! 

There's no better way to kick off a fabulous year ahead with a fabulous box of wine! A lotta French, a little Italian, a touch Spanish and a scosh local. See you soon! 

'Tis the season to celebrate! We've snuck in an extra bottle this month for all of those holiday parties, get togethers, and just festive fun this month. We hope you enjoy this holiday fun bunch! 

November hits and for those of us in the food and wine state of mind, we're thinking of what to pair with your Thanksgiving dinner! The point of wine club is to try it and see if you like it, yeah? Well, try these and see what you want to have on the table come this Thanksgiving weekend. Most will be available, although some are special for our club members and won't be hanging out on the shelf for long. See you soon and enjoy!

Run, don't walk, this is our version of trick-or-treating! We're excited for y'all to try these wines, some new to the market and some exclusive to Seattle! Once again we're traveling all around Greece, Croatia, France, and Macedonia. Enjoy!

We're super excited about this global little bunch for y'all this month! We're headed to Hungary, Slovenia, Georgia, Greece (of course!), France, and Italy. We hope it inspires thoughts of your next big trip, or perhaps just the next fun meal to pair. Enjoy!
