TODAY WITH IASON AND SOTIRIS from to PM to taste 5 really fine Greek wines : I tasted them with Iason yesterday, Thursday, Aug 28th, 2014 and really enjoyed them all as quite distinct expressions of their terroir and climate and weather, everything : greek fine wines :
1/ Red On Black Nemea 212, $14.99, 13.5 percent alcohol by volume, ... fruit/forward, lush, ripe, delicious with or without a meal.
2/ Xinomavro 2011 from DIOFILI, from Siatsta , $18.99, 13 percent alcohol by volume,Greece : cleaner, more muscular, more tight, more taut, more toasted and roasted and zingy/zippy dried berry/cherry/cranberry flavors that are best with a meal, medium to lighter bodied, fresh and with a lively tartness and spice for accent! Made with 70 year old vines ... what a plus that is ... and the price is so reasonable for that ... great value, great food wine, great warm/weather food wine ...
3/ Xinomavro and Moschomarvro 213 dry rose blend from 70 year old grapes, from DIOFILI and the SIAISA Winery in Greece, this is a rich and full and generous, yet still really well/composed dry rose that has been pleasing you all for years now, what a great dry rose to sip as well as enjoy with many a meal!
4/ Assyrtiko dry white 2013 from FEREDINI from the Cyclades region in Greece/Santorini from the ART. KARAMOLEGOS Winery :, $15.99, 13 percent alcohol by volume, : fuller, richer, more mouth/feel, more generous grip and girth and rounder and more accented flavors and taste that linger quite awhile, I liked it from the very first sip yesterday ,,,
/ ' Argatia ', a dry and nuanced and lilting dry blend of Malagousia 45 percent grapes, and 10 percent Athiri and 45 percent Assyrtilko ... more flavor, more layers of flavors that are slow to open, but so rewarding as they do as there is so much more to ths wine, it is quite special. Cheers, JOIN US, come taste today from to 8 PM ... NO CHARGE, everyone always welcome...
