Well, another month trying to navigate our way through the weirdness and stress of all that assails us. To mitigate slightly, how about a fun foray into Greek wine? It might distract us just a smidge and remind us that we are all Johnny-come-lately when it comes to this summer drinking thing. Not only did the Greeks bequeath democracy to the world, they were among the first to discover the whole fermented grape experience. Thanks Greece; we owe you… especially now.
This exciting white from the Peloponnese peninsula in the south blends organically farmed Moscofilero (80%) and Chardonnay and is a great example of the fantastic new wave of Greek wines that are emerging in our market. Pale khaki in color, with aromas of apricot, canteloupe, honey and white peppercorn on the nose, this is a silky, tangy, refreshing white. Lemon spritz, almond and minerals make a compelling, lengthy finish.
This is a complex wine ideal for Mediterranean cuisine, fresh grilled sardines, feta and other creamier cheeses, salads and oysters. Hang in there and have a great August..
