may 2025 symposium
Sip, Learn, Connect
Make every Wednesday a celebration of Greek wine culture at Krasi’s Symposiums. Each week, we showcase a new theme, exploring Greece’s finest wines through curated tastings and storytelling.
This Month’s Lineup:5.7.25 | Volcanic Soil, Volcanic Soul: Wines from Fire-Born Lands Explore wines grown in the dramatic shadows of ancient volcanoes like Santorini, Lemnos, and beyond—where gnarled vines dig deep into ash and lava rock, defying the odds. Here, terroirs forged by fire and cooled by Aegean winds yield wines of incredible purity, salinity, and mineral depth. Each sip tells a story of resilience and intensity, with flavors as bold as the landscapes themselves. These are wines born from fire—and brimming with soul.
5.14.25 | Mavrodaphne Made Me Do It Sweet, dark, and just a little bit scandalous—Mavrodaphne is the wine that beckons you to stay a little longer, pour a little more. Whether you’re sipping it as a deep, fortified dessert wine or exploring newer dry styles, Mavrodaphne seduces the senses with velvet textures and whispers of dried fruit, spice, and mystery. Tonight, we lean into the drama—indulging in wines that feel like secrets shared under candlelight and taste like a plot twist in a love story.
5.21.25 | Time Travelers’ Tasting: Ancient Grapes, Modern Glass Forget the dusty textbooks—tonight, we drink our way through history. Every wine in your glass is made from grapes that have been cultivated for millennia, from the poetic age of Homer to today’s cutting-edge Greek winemakers. Discover how ancient varietals like Assyrtiko, Limnio, and Moschofilero have stood the test of time, evolving into modern masterpieces that bridge past and present. Taste the legacy, savor the innovation—this is wine time travel at its finest.
5.28.25 | My Big Fat Greek Tasting Get ready for a tasting as lively and generous as a Greek celebration. Tonight’s lineup is all about bold flavors, joyful pours, and wines that dance on the palate like a bouzouki melody. From crisp whites to juicy reds and everything in between, these are the crowd-pleasers—the wines that make you want to raise a glass (or three). You may not smash plates, but chances are good you’ll fall hard for Greece’s most festive and drinkable gems.
