Friday, Jan 15th: Hellas Pete

posted on 16 January 2010 by jeff

What’s cooler than whatever you’re doing Friday night?  Coming by the shop to drink some killer Greek wine with our very good buddy, Hellas Pete.  Pete’s going to be pouring wines from all over Greece, and all of them are fantastic values.  With nothing over $20, the aromatic wines of  the Aegean will entertain you all night long without over-burdening your wallet.
