When I visited him last summer he was dressed in rumpled khakis, well worn work boots and floppy fedora and clearly was entirely at home. <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the Wines from Santorini event. One of the key messages we're trying to get across is that Assyrtiko is a noble grape varietal producing world-class wines. And the preservation of the 1400 hectares of vineyard remaining in Santorini is something of importance to everyone in the wine industry.Steverayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313875186138100547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-10203528028192409812010-05-25T13:21:55.029-04:002010-05-25T13:21:55.029-04:00I too am interested in exploring more Greek wines....I too am interested in exploring more Greek wines. The Santinori tasting was great; and I also gravitated to the Sigalas and Hatzidakis wines. Thank you for this succinct review... IMO not an easy task when faced with the challenge of deciphering the labels and delving into the wine making practices (traditional vs modern).<br /><br />BTW, I came across this link for NYC retailers who sell Greek wines. Not sure how current it is or what producer each one carries, but at least it's a start.<br /><br />http://www.allaboutgreekwine.com/retail.htmWines in the Cityhttp://www.winesinthecity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-55062830342841426792010-05-25T08:04:50.688-04:002010-05-25T08:04:50.688-04:00The wines and the Sigalas in particular were great...The wines and the Sigalas in particular were great. I'm amazed by the distinctness of these wines, their affordability, their ageworthiness and the fact that Assyrtiko works so well with wood (!). Looking forward to tasting these wines with you BrooklyGuy in many years (I hope) to come. Glad the photo was useful!Do Bianchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744434741371288465noreply@blogger.com
