2000 Kir-Yianni Ramnista Xinomavro

In what other city outside of Greece—I’m serious—can you find a top Greek red by the glass? This is one of the best currently coming out of Greece: top producer (Kir-Yianni), prized appellation (Naoussa), stellar vintage (2000) and tastiest indigenous grape (Xinomavro). What else can one ask for? The very pleasant bartender described this wine as a red with a good amount of tannin that doesn’t linger… strange but true. Try for yourself. Here is a great site I found on Greek wines: All About Greek Wine.

Milou en mai: My Month of May

[+] Cravings Box

John Schaefer

After a beautiful summer I will be craving one final meal off the grill in my backyard before it’s put away for the fall and winter months.

Pepper chutney — the last crop from the summer — and a potato gratin will be some of the sides I serve with grilled steak or loin of pork for an early autumn dinner.
