My far and wide search for the rare and beloved Retsina has come to an end. This delicious greek wine is non-existent in my former home, New Orleans. I did consider the hope of retsina availability to be a relocation perk. Found! Not at Bevmo, Trader Joe's, Sprouts or anywhere else. ONLY Total Wine. In addition, it's Kourtaki Retsina. My favorite being it's the most tree sappy tasting of them all! You can't beat $7 a bottle.
There is always friendly, floor staff available to help with specifics. They have a huge wine, beer and liquor selection for a great price! I felt kind of foolish in the "make your own six pack" aisle as I stood there for about thirty minutes drooling over every single brew but decisions were made. They carry some Abita brew to help with NOLA homesickness too!
Plan to spend some time in this store and admire the selection. They were setting up for a tasting of some sort, but I had been in there long enough. Next time!
If they are out of retsina it's probably because I took them all. Sorry!
