Tasting Greek Wine
By Marisa D'Vari | September 12th, 2007 | Category: News | No Comments »So the assignment for Wine Blogging Wednesday is to theme is to “go native” and try an indigenous grape variety! This WBW's theme is chosen by Dr. Vino. WBW was created by Lenn Thompson.
As it is summer and everyone in Manhattan is in the Haptons or a yacht in Greece, I chose a Greek wine.
PARANGA
Name: KIR-YIANNI PARANGA 2003
Type/Category: Red Dry, Vin de Pays de Macedoine
Variety: Xinomavro, Merlot, Syrah
The wine is light in intensity though it has a medium+ body, with an aroma of spice, wood, and framboise and flavors of red cherries, raspberries, rhubbarb, and cherry cola.
Available under $15 in most stores, it is a great summer wine to pair with lighter dishes such as salads, steamed vegetables, sushi, and cheese.
