The Night at Athens Market was a success
We explored Roditis Marras, pink skin varietal that is used to make white wine. You can idetify it as a love child of German Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Bright color, fruity lemon flavor, light perfect summer wine.
Pairs well with seafood, horse d'oevres, light cheeses and salads. We enjoyed it with Greek Feta cheese, vegetables and pita bread.
Our red wine to explore was Kouros Nemea. Indigenous grape Agiorgitiko also known as Mavro Nemeas. Elegant, dry red wine with flavors of fresh berries, dark cherries and plums. Low in acid, well balanced tannins.
Pairs with meat dishes, especially with barbequed steaks. The chef surprised us with delecious Greek meatballs.
During the evening there was Greek music in the backgroud to make us feel we were in Greece.
