The Combination of Grapes
in this wine might deliver thoughts about France or the New World. But it is a Greek wine. And the combination also raises the much debated question of favouring wines made of endemic varieties. That Question is both relevant and insignificant, or in a way historically wrong. It is ofcourse important that Agiorgitiko, Kotsifali, Mandilaria... will not become extinct. But there is little fear of that. One might rather ponder why one likes New World wines? There is hardly anything endemic about them! Would it not be better to appreciate the cradle of WINE, Greece, when she takes back the siblings of vines she once put forth with the Roman soldiers? Would it not be most enjoyable to buy a Greek wine of great quality, while in Greece, just because of the taste? And would it not be appropriate that a combination of Sangiovese, Mandilaria, etc. might interest those of us with a long nose for the good in wines? A Quote: Like a rather well known Finnish politician, recently an EU MEP, once said: I'm not telling you, I just ask. Our Guardian Spirit, Valeria, made us aquainted with this INO. She brought it to us to be enjoyed over a dinner that started with a taste of nettle soup, a larger portion of extremely garlicy mushroom soup (with a secret way of making 20 cloves mild), and a very tender & tasty lamb-casserole with basmati rice cooked with olive-oil, garlic, pepper... If I Say that INO was an excellent companion all through the meal, and tasty as hell (also after the plates had been licked by our furry guardians, two dachshounds) - well, then I might be saying something about a wine that IS Greek, even if you might not think so. Had the wine been from the New World, it would have been soaked in oak - without the delicate nuances in our Greek INO. -Hannu January 16, 2007 P.S.
