I fell in love with Assyrtiko when on my honeymoon in Santorini and have been trying to find it from exporters stateside with little luck. <br /><br />I brought back a few bottles and every time my wife and I opened one we were instantly transported back to one of the most beautiful places on Earth!Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240534359160170087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-44880526016238369272012-07-18T16:04:02.105-07:002012-07-18T16:04:02.105-07:00We also love the Greek varietals.

We love the Asyrtiko and Athiri from Santorini - by them selves or blended. I prefer no or little oak. From Pelopones-Nemea the Agiorgitiko (red) and Moscofilero (white) can be interesting.

Good alone as well as blended. Prefer no oak. From the Nemea area there are some nice Agiorgitiko (red) and Moschofilero (white) wines - Skouras does a good job.

I only recall the whites and being left with the word "chemicals" in my brain. Petrol, in particular. <br /><br />As good as the wines might be, do you think their flavor profiles could be tough for U.S. palates to process? Speaking very generally, of course.Steve Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192444999768871335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-40099071982514990782012-07-17T09:16:02.319-07:002012-07-17T09:16:02.319-07:00PCP: With you on the whites.

They have indigenous red grapes that a few wineries are experimenting with, but so far the results are not of international quality.<br /><br />I have not been to Paros. Always something to look forward to.W.

I really enjoyed visiting some of the wineries on Santorini on my visits there, although I really preferred the whites at most places.<br /><br />Have you been to the island of Paros? they're making some pretty good reds there and the people working at the wineries are friendly and know their stuff.<br /><br />It's really neat to see the way grapes are grown there, in Portland Charcuterie Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741838890062064902noreply@blogger.com
