Join Steven Brown Saturday July 13th for a tasting of the Lyrarakis wines of Crete. These highly reviewed wines seldom escape the Eurozone but will be here at bayleaf!

The Lyrarakis wines are leaders in the global wine world with the focus on the indigenous grapes of their region, working with only organic and biodynamic methods and producing Certified Vegan wines. Beyond all that, the wines are delicious, well priced and versatile! Our region is considered a Mediterranean climate after all, so these wines tend to go better with our flora and fauna than most wines from our own state which are grown in an entirely different climate!
