Best of the White Bunch |

How they performed...what a spectacle....fast, furious focused and, yes, fatigued. Those athletes from all edges of the planet, dazzled, delighted and dignified the devotees of the Olympic games. The torch blazing away as the world found it's oasis of harmony albeit for the briefest of respites. Yes I know it's as real as an episode of ER and that a competition only really brings us complete fulfillment if the first athlete over the line or with the highest score, is wearing our national flag across their chest. But remember the old adage: It's not how you play the game, it's how you win. And winning is everything. Forget the rules, chuck the instruction |
manual out the window, and let's get the medal! Wait a second. Maybe I'm confusing the Olympics with the wine world. Yes I think I am. But speaking of Greece, and rules, and being a winner, there is some common ground - and I'm not talking about the area around the Acropolis! If I put the word "Greece" and "wine" in the same sentence, you'd jump to a conclusion, and it would be a poor jump indeed, and as a result you wouldn't even be rewarded with bronze if you said: "Retsina". I know, I know...Retsina has always been the only wine from Greece which has been accorded international celebrity status. But like all mega celebs, sometimes these camera |
hogging larger than life personalities eclipse some equally talented contestants standing in their shadow. And Skouras Moschofilero is stepping out of the shadows and becoming the next huge winner in the wine world. This is champion nectar. I had absolutely no idea what I was uncorking so it's exotic dessert nuances came as the most incredible surprise. Yet no surprise when you realize that the Moschofilero grape is a member of the Muscat Grape family (the same grape family which produces Asti Spumante for example). Grown in the Arcadia region of southern Greece |
atop a high mountain, this must surely be the elixir of the gods. The winery, Domaine Skouras, harvest their grapes at night when it is cool, to preserve the natural fresh fruit, and further maintain the freshness by fermenting in stainless steel tanks. The result is a wine which has the perfume of a dessert wine and fills your mouth with the most delicious raisiny fullness of the typical Muscat grape. I would drink this wine before a meal or with fish, or salads. However you choose to enjoy it, be prepared, because as soon as the cork is popped, you'll be sprinting for another bottle. Trust me, this wine will take gold at every competition and |
regardless of your nationality, you'll be applauding this winner carrying the flag of Greece and bringing harmony to dinner tables around the world. Cheers!
