Do you like Greek wines? I do … they come in a variety of styles and price points and pair well with a wide variety of food. Typically they are also a very good value for the money, especially when it comes to reserve wines where you can still get a 1997 red with full development for just over $20.
Today I attended a press lunch for Tsantali Wines at Thalassa Restaurant in New York, with one of my favorite sommeliers, Master Sommelier Roger Dagorn leading the tasting during lunch, in which two and sometimes even three wines were paired with the various dishes that began with delicious scallops wrapped in Katalfi paired with Kanenas 09 (Muscat of Alexandria – Chardonnay) and Metochi Chromitsa 09 (Assyrtiko – Sauvignon Blanc) and continued with fish paired with Red Kanenas 06 (Mavroudi-Syrah) and Rapsani 2006 (Xinomavro, Krassato, and Stavroto) and then lamb paired with Naousa Reserve 1997 (Xinomavro, Metochi Chromitsa X 05 (Xinomavro, Limnio, Cabernet Sauvignon) and more …
A fabulous opportunity to pair Greek wines with Greek and non-Greek foods, and a wonderful memorable lecture by Roger Dagorn.
P.S.
In addition to the excellent wines, shocked at how good the food was. I had never dined at Thalassa restaurant and was really amazed by the quality of the food. The shrimp were so large – I had never seen their size before!
