Odyssey & Wine: An Epic Tasting · Kinship Launch

​Sold out, thank you! 🍷 Our next event is on 22 November. There are spots available: https://luma.com/zpqnmwzv

This is Kinship’s very first gathering.

​Odysseus spent ten years trying to get home, and wine played a bigger part in his troubles than the epic lets on.

​We’ll read the Odyssey through its wine: one passage, one glass, one conversation at a time. Homer’s epic leads the way, with a few detours into Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey to see what three thousand years did to the story.

​What to expect

• ​Selected passages from Homer’s Odyssey, read aloud and discussed

• ​A few side-by-side moments with Nolan’s film

• ​A guided tasting of Greek wines, paired with the story

• ​A small table, a slow evening

​No homework. You don’t need to have read the epic, and you don’t need to know anything about wine. We’ll walk you through both. Watching Nolan’s film beforehand is recommended, though.
