Toasting Women In Wine
Toasting Women In Wine
Today we celebrate International Women’s Day, in the midst of International Women’s Month. Yes, we women have been given not only a day but a whole month to be recognized for everything that we do. However, as grateful as I am to have this whole day, and month, wouldn’t it make more sense to have a whole year? We, women, do exist, maneuvering, managing, and multi-tasking every single day, every…

Wines of the Day: Five Wines for Summer
Wines of the Day: Five Wines for Summer
Kir-Yianni Xinomavro vineyards in Naoussa, Greece As temperatures continue to climb this long hot summer, we look for lighter wine options to pair with our favorite light summer fare. These five wines will deliver incredible taste, at easy pairing ability. #Cheers The white grape, Vermentino, is best known in Italy where it calls Sardinia home and in the South of France, where it is often…

Yesterday (Wednesday) we drove about an hour outside of Rethymno to the town of Heraklion (still on the island of Crete). We visited the ancient ruins of the palace Knossos, the largest archeological site on Crete and the oldest city in all of Europe. Knossos was home to a Minoan King during the Bronze Age, about 2000 years ago. They had very advanced sewer and food/drink production methods. They housed their wine, olive oil, water and food in these huge jars in a cellar like grid system under ground. They had enclosed clay pipes for sewage, an aqueduct system and toilets! The palace was destroyed by earthquakes multiple times and ultimately excavated by a British archaeologist named Sir Arthur Evans. Next we drove to the Boutari Winery, about 20 minutes from Knossos. We learned about how they make the wine, what their production times are and a lot about Greek wine and why it's kind of the worlds best kept secret! We tried several, Sean loved the red and I had the best Rose of my life. We also enjoyed a dessert wine which surprised us both! The photo of the food above is their version of "a light lunch" which we were pleasantly surprised would very much fill us up! After the winery we took the 90 minute drive back to Rethymno where I napped and Sean took photos of the beautiful coastline. We finally did the fish spa! Where you put your feet in fish tanks and they eat all the dead skin. It tickled a lot and felt like little vibrations all over. Sean already wants to go back and do it again for longer. We ended the night with dinner overlooking the fortress and the water and a visit to a local bar known for its Greek craft beers! We had some really great IPAs and a Greek version of cheetos, which really needs to become a US staple as bar snacks in my opinion :) Now we take a boat to Santorini!

Greek wine companies Boutari and Kir-Yianni recently embarked on a partnership worth $50 million with COFCO Wines & Spirits Co Ltd that will boost Greek wine exports to China. COFCO Wines & Spirits is the largest, state food and beverage company in China.
The agreement is considered of great importance for the Greek wine industry as it opens doors for promotion, development and further cooperation in the Chinese market. It is based on a five-year plan that will launch this summer and initially focus on the promotion of classical, Greek varieties (Xinomavro, Moshofilero and Aghiorghitiko), with the potential of expanding to other wine varieties.
