Ep 169 - Southern Greece
Manage episode 235071915 series 1232493
This week we are talking about Southern Greece which is defined by its hot Mediterranean climate so most of the vineyards in these areas are grown on the sides of mountains in higher elevation. Southern Greece includes the Kefalonia, Peloponnese and Crete areas.
Wine Recommendations
Lyrarakis Plyto Psarades Vineyard 2017 - priced around $20.
- Aromas of lemon, nectarine, minerality and white lilies
- It’s dry with high acidity and flavors very similar to aromas
- This wine needs food so this is your summer food wine and stands up really well to a salad with vinaigrette
- Once we added food to the mix this wine became amazing
- Also could pair with cream sauces, seafood and cheese
Boutari Moschofilero 2017 - priced around $14.
- Medium intense aromas of melon, clementine, jasmine with a hint of salinity
- It’s dry with medium plus acidity with flavors similar to aromas
- Another great summer wine - light and crisp
- Paired great with roasted corn and tomato salad
- Also great with pairs with delicate dishes such as sushi, salads or fresh fish
