Reviews and Ratings

Costa Lazaridi Amethystos (2014) is created by iconic "flying winemaker" Michel Rolland. This red wine blend from the Drama wine region in Greece is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Agiorgitiko and is rich with chocolate, blackcurrant, plum and wood smoke, matched by a zesty acidity. There is a tannic grip on this wine, so decant an hour prior to serving. Pair with chargrilled beef kebabs. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
