DEAR STEPHANIE DRY RED

3 Genies - Thomaidis Winery

Those who know us a little better know that we love to look at things with a romantic eye. That is how we have always viewed wine in our family: through our people, our memories, and everything passed down from one generation to the next.

That is why our new label bears a name very close to our hearts. Dear Stephanie. Like the opening of a letter—the kind that is still worth writing.

For us, true care lives in the simplest gestures: writing a few words to someone, or laying out a table for no special occasion. Just because they were on your mind.
