Malbec from Argentina, discovered at @SpartansFamilyrestaurant!

Also really fine M Moschofilero Greek nutty, honeyed, viscous warming satisfying fold tints white hued yum! Available from @DionysosImports and excellent values, half off bottle price at Spartan's on Wednesdays! excellent , exciting food, company, service and wine at Spartan's!

The Malbec was anazingly round, complete, not tannic but tasty and very pleasing to sip as well as enjoy with my Meat Lover's flatbread, as was the Moschofilero!

Serge Hochar believed in his wine as if each and every vine , grape, cluster, leaf, bud, bottle of wine were his and his family’s and those that worked with him, those of us that drink his wines -we are all like his very own babies - that is how personal and serious wine that he makes is to him! His world, now carried on by his children, and here are my notes from the tasting I was invited to attend by Chris Pigott at @Zytiniarestaurant in Washington DC, quel grand plaisir pour moi tout ca!

Great moment and wine tasting for me! Tony, Anthony Quinn Friday January 30, 2026 1:04pm now as I do this on a snowy icy bright winter's day here.

Really fine meal this afternoon with food and wine at Spartan’s Family restaurant in Burke, northern Virginia, Wednesday, January 28, 2026 with a fine M Moschofilero Greek aromatic dry white, and a creamier, smoother, rounder and less tannic Malbec from Argentina, both available from Dionysos imports!

Really enjoyed the service, the food and the wine, a bottle of red and white, both half price each Wednesday, Argentina smooth , round, pleasing Malbec, and the Greek white M moschofilero was viscous and a subtle nut and spice and honey component. oth available from Dionysos Imports, love.y with my all meat flat bread! At Spartan's family restaurant in Burke, northern Virginia. a treat for the three of us. Excellent friendly prompt service, we each enjoyed our meals with the wines.

The wine business is a community with other communities all tied into all of us inlife - life living giving sharing caring community- I take it very seriously! Here is some of my past involvement of cari g and Shari g while I worked at Cleveland Park Winea d Spirits as the wine buyer / manager / enabler of wine!
