This week on Unwined with Mandi, make room on your La Grande Dégustation de Montréal itinerary for Wines of Greece at counter A18. With 34 wines to discover at its wine bar, this is a chance to explore a country whose wines deserve a bigger place on our tables.

Greece’s indigenous grape varieties, varied landscapes and blend of longstanding traditions and contemporary winemaking give its wines remarkable individuality. From crisp, expressive whites to reds with depth and character, there’s plenty to discover beyond the familiar names. It’s also an opportunity to ask questions, compare styles and find something new to bring to your next dinner party. Whether you’re already a fan or wondering where to start, make the Wines of Greece wine bar at A18 a stop.

Then, we’re heading to Piedmont with Roberto Bruno and Fabio Bosio from Fontanafredda for a conversation about all things Barolo. What makes a wine Barolo, and why does it have such a grand reputation? We explore Barolo Week, the initiative Fontanafredda created to bring this celebrated wine to more tables, and discover how to join the celebration here in Montreal. From the estate’s royal beginnings to choosing a bottle for dinner, we discuss why Barolo can be more approachable and affordable than you might expect, and why enjoying it doesn’t always require decades in the cellar!
