Odyssey & Wine: An Epic Wine Tasting

​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

• ​The key moments of Homer’s Odyssey, retold and discussed

• ​Nolan’s take on the story, and why it divided audiences

• ​A guided tasting of four artisanal 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.
