how about the greeks

[Scoop]

I, too, had a very good experience with Greek wines in Greece (and have had in NYC, too). Bold reds from the North (Cotes de Meliton and Naoussa) and Nemea, delicious whites from Crete and Santorini (amazing viticulture practiced there in near-arid conditions) and, of course the dessert wines from Samos (Muscat) and the Mavrodaphne (sic) de Patras (a red dessert wine). And most of these come from native, ancient grape varieties. Quality wine-making has been on the rise in recent years: Greece, with its diverse micro-climates and sun -- not to mention history --is a country wine lovers should not ignore.

Cheers,
