This talk is in itself a celebration of how the Ancient Greeks and Romans created our love of wine. How wine's popularity spread, how wine production has and has not changed, what wine connoisseurs 2,000 years ago thought made a wine great! As an archaeologist who has excavated a Roman wine-producing warehouse, I promise that this talk will refresh your palette!
