Achaia Clauss Ouzo Traditional Anise Apéritif
- $19
On the nose, anise, pure and simple. Palate entry is sweet and soft considering the alcohol level; by midpalate the sweetness becomes more pronounced as the anise settles back a bit; the texture is rich, Finish slightly prickly on the tongue but delightful.

Achaia Clauss 1996 Mavrodaphne of Patras Reserve (Peloponnese)
- $20
Made much like tawny Port, this russet-brown wine features aromas of coffee, toffee and walnuts. It’s sweet but not overly so, with hints of maple syrup that add a sense of refinement to the straightforward flavors.

Achaia Clauss NV Danielis Agiorgitiko (Greece)

This wine has a simple mouthfeel, but plump cherry flavors make up for it. Herbal notes and aromas of cola and green bean keep it from being too straightforward.

Achaia Clauss 2006 Demestica White (Patras)

Cheerful, light white aromas of citrus—lemon and orange mainly—lead on this white blend from Patras. On the palate, it’s refreshing but offers some depth in its lemon and orange muscat flavors. Simple but appealing, and at an excellent price.

Achaia Clauss NV Demestica Red (Patras)

This is a lighter style Agiorgitiko with an elegant character. A nose of delicate berry and minerals is followed by a slightly spicy, easy-drinking profile of red berry and oak. Fresh and clean and best paired with lighter pasta dishes and poultry dishes.
