Hello Spanish Table wine friends! The name of today's newsletter should be "It's All Greek To Me"... As you know Spanish Table is always on the cutting edge, & with Steve's love of Greek food, our increasing collection of cheeses, cookbooks & everything under the Greek sun, we took the plunge by buying Greek wine to go with your next meal. I have to say my head hurts a little from having to wrap my brain around these supercalifragilisticexpialidocious varietal names, but I've been very happy to test out some Greek recipes to go with the pile of wine samples we collected. Apparently these wines don't get shown around a lot, so once they were opened, we were the end of the road! Strange that more Greek wine is sold in restaurants than in retail stores... I've always been kinda intrigued by the ones I tried as they left me wanting to find more without much luck. So I went to Yanni's in Greenwood to snoop around their menu & sample some calamari & kebabs with their glass pours. Official business! I barely had time to get a few of these in today's newsletter, but I think we amassed a cool selection in a couple week's worth of time. Since Greece is now going through a renaissance & being lauded as one of the hot new wine regions in the world, it's the perfect time for wine aficionado's to get their feet wet. Summer couldn't be a better time to do so! Salud! Catherine CHARRED LAMB SALAD WITH PEA SHOOTS, LEMON, AND CAPERS from The New Greek Cuisine by Jim Botsacos with Judith Choate $29.95 Serves 6 2 boneless racks of lamb Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon dried Greek oregano 2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper 2 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons ground fenugreek 2 teaspoons dried mint About 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon well dried capers 1 cup mixed greens 2 tablespoons Kalamata Vinaigrette Using kitchen twine, carefully tie each piece of lamb at least once vertically and 4 times around the circumference to hold the meat firmly in place. Season with salt to taste. Combine 1 teaspoon black pepper with the oregano, Aleppo pepper, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, and mint in a small bowl. When well combined, generously coat each piece of lamb with the spices. As soon as the lamb is completely charred, using tongs, transfer it to a cookie sheet. Place in the freezer to quickly stop the cooking and to firm the meat. Allow to rest in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the lamb is very firm but not fully frozen. Remove the lamb from the freezer and untie all of the string. Using a slicing knife, cut the lamb crosswise into almost-paper-thin-slices. Place an equal portion of lamb in a circle of slightly overlapping slices to completely cover each of 6 dinner places. Drizzle the lamb with a bit of the remaining extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with an equal amount of the capers. Place the greens in a small bowl and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste and place a small portion on top of the lamb on each plate. Serve immediately. KALAMATA VINAIGRETTE Makes about 1 ½ cups 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1/4 Kalamata vinegar (can substitute sherry vinegar) 3 tablespoons thyme honey ½ teaspoon dried Greek oregano ½ teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste Pinch of freshly ground pepper 1 cup extra virgin olive oil Combine the vinegars, honey, oregano salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisking constantly, add the oil in a slow, steady stream, beating until the mixture is emulsified. Taste and, if necessary, season with additional salt pepper. Store, covered, at room temperature until ready to use. Whisk briefly before using. GO GREEK! Kourtaki Retsina, Attica GR $7.99 Retsina is one of those wines that provokes a strong response... Even if one server at a Greek restaurant tried to talk me out of ordering it, I happen to enjoy it, & I really like Kourtaki's. The Greeks started to add pine resin to their wine as a way of preserving it & they've kept that tradition alive for over 2700 years. I also discovered something very interesting about the way to serve retsina in my research--the trick is to serve it cool, like a red wine, not really cold because that intensifies the flavor. Bingo! Paired with a fresh salad of feta, tomatoes, oregano & cucumbers and served at the proper temperature, drinking retsina was a whole new experience! Flavors & aromas of rosemary, lemon peel & pine marry perfectly with Mediterranean foods. If you haven't had retsina since your college days or that trip to the islands, I urge you to give this one a whirl! Kouros Nemea Red 2003, Nemea $9.99 100% Agiorgitiko--that's a mouthful & so is this wine. Perhaps, that's why they also named this grape St. George! Dark dusty nose complimented by spicy cinnamon, this is lamb wine. Medium- bodied with warm black currants, wild plums & a mushroom and leather finish. Consistently a best value with both Wine Spectator & Wine and Spirits. Kourtaki Muscat of Samos, Samos GR $10.99 The Seattle Spanish Table has a legion of tasters with a sweet tooth & they were talking about buying some for themselves before it even made its way to the shelf! A bargain in the dessert wine department, this Muscat comes from the island of Samos where apparently 70% of their wine is exported to France. One would think that's a good sign. Sauterne-like nose of honey, apricots & wildflowers with a silky richness this begs for baklava or a bowl of fresh local strawberries from the farmer's market & some pound cake. A wonderful warm weather dessert wine that takes you right to an island in the Mediterranean! Boutari Moschofilero 2005, Mantinia GR $12.99 I first tried this as a glass pour at Lola, Tom Douglas's venture into Greek cuisine, with a pacific prawn kebab with curried muscat glaze... Heavenly! It sent me into a brief Greek wine buying spree (for my own wine rack), which ended all too quickly since they're so hard to find. When Steve said to order some Greek wine this was the first one I thought of, simply because I remembered it as being so refreshing. The tropical nose is similar to a Gewurtztraminer with a tropical splash of white rose, lychee, cantaloupe, pineapple & citrus trees, but the taste is pleasantly tart with a soft Pinot Grigio-like softness. Boutari's Moschofilero is one of the important wines in Greece, as it signifies the "Greek Renaissance". This would be as at home with some gambas ajillo as it would with steamed salmon in grape leaves. NEW & NOTABLE 2005 Torremoron Tinto, Ribera del Duero $9.99 Arrives Friday Back in stock! "The 2005 Torremoron is an unoaked cuvee of 100% Tempranillo from 60- to 90-year-old vines. Medium ruby-colored, it has a terrific perfume of wild berries including raspberry, strawberry, and cherry. On the palate the wine is youthful, very concentrated and structured. The finish is long and fruity. It seems unlikely that many people will cellar a $10 wine but this amazing effort should continue to evolve for 1-2 years. Drink it with pleasure over the next 3-4 years. It is an outstanding value." -90 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Arcaeli Gonzalez M5 Monastrell, Yecla $12.99 Arrives Friday Back in stock! "The M Series wines are all 100% Monastrell aged in stainless steel. The 2005 M5/Mourvedre from Yecla is the class of these wines. It has a lovely kirsch-scented nose, oodles of fruit, excellent balance, and a long, pure finish. It should be consumed over the next 2 years. The name Vinos Sin-Ley means “wines without laws.” According to importer Patrick Mata, these cuvees are produced by an array of serious winemakers who wish to have their own personal projects apart from those of their employers and to not be bound by the various D.O. regulations. The G Series wines are composed of 100% Garnacha while the new M Series wines are 100% Monastrell. The Zestos wines are blends. They are reviewed in the order they were presented. All of the recommended wines are excellent values." -92 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate COLLECTOR'S CORNER Clio 2004, Jumilla $42.00 EXTREMELY LIMITED! "The consulting winemaker at Bodegas El Nido is Chris Ringland of Barossa Valley fame. The 2004 Clio is 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 70% Monastrell (from 63-year-old vines) which received malolactic fermentation in new oak followed by 26 months of aging in new French and American barriques. A glass-coating opaque purple, it exhibits a sensational nose of earth, mushroom, leather, blueberry, and blackberry jam. On the palate the wine is supple-textured, complex, with vibrant flavors of spicy blue and black fruits and a big-time WOW factor. This is a totally hedonistic effort with exceptional length and balance. It is remarkably light on its feet for such a powerful wine." -97 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Kripta Gran Reserva Brut Nature 2000, $60.00 New vintage! This is truly exciting news... THE cult cava has made it here to Washington. Kripta has an international reputation as the ultimate cava, garnering 18/20 points from influential French wine critic Michel Betanne who wrote that it was on par with some of the most exclusive Champagnes from France.

    1. from the Beginnings to 1000 Ce

    1. From the Beginnings to 1000 ce As the history of French wine was beginning, about twenty-five hundred years ago, both of the key elements were missing: there was no geographi- cal or political entity called France, and no wine was made on the territory that was to become France. As far as we know, the Celtic populations living there did not produce wine from any of the varieties of grapes that grew wild in many parts of their land, although they might well have eaten them fresh. They did cultivate barley, wheat, and other cereals to ferment into beer, which they drank, along with water, as part of their daily diet. They also fermented honey (for mead) and perhaps other produce. In cultural terms it was a far cry from the nineteenth century, when France had assumed a national identity and wine was not only integral to notions of French culture and civilization but held up as one of the impor- tant influences on the character of the French and the success of their nation. Two and a half thousand years before that, the arbiters of culture and civilization were Greece and Rome, and they looked upon beer- drinking peoples, such as the Celts of ancient France, as barbarians. Wine was part of the commercial and civilizing missions of the Greeks and Romans, who introduced it to their new colonies and later planted vine- yards in them. When they and the Etruscans brought wine and viticulture to the Celts of ancient France, they began the history of French wine.

Treating it with a seriousness never before accorded it by anyone, it is made from the estate’s organic Roditis grapes (rather than the Savatiano almost universally employed elsewhere), to which is added before fermentation a moderate quantity of resin drawn from pine trees growing on the property. 40% is fermented on wild yeasts in amphorae, the balance in stainless steel. Extended lees aging is the final touch before bottling. The result is an understated, elegantly dry wine that is a cinch with Mediterranean seafood dishes and will banish forever dubious memories of Greek beach holidays.

    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

  • EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN WINES: GREECE, TURKEY and LEBANON Greek Wine Turkish Wine

    EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN WINES: GREECE, TURKEY and LEBANON Greek Wine Turkish Wine

    EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN WINES: GREECE, TURKEY AND LEBANON Greek wine Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world. Greek wine had especially high prestige in Italy under the Roman Empire. In the medieval period, wines exported from Crete, Monemvasia and other Greek ports fetched high prices in northern Europe. A system of appellations was implemented to assure consumers the origins of their wine purchases. The appellation system categorizes wines as: • Onomasia Proelefsis Anoteras Poiotitos (O.P.A.P. ), i.e. an Appellation of Origin of Superior Quality • Onomasia Proelefsis Eleghomeni (O.P.E. ), i.e. a Controlled Appellation of Origin • Topikos Oinos , i.e. a Vin de pays • Epitrapezios Oinos , i.e. a Vin de table • Epitrapezios Oinos , regular table wine which usually comes in screw-top containers • Cava , more prestigious, aged "reserve" blends (minimum aging: 2 years for whites; 3 years for reds) • Retsina , a traditional wine, flavored with pine resin • The Wine regions Main wine growing regions of contemporary Greece are: Aegean Islands, Crete, Central Greece, Epirus, Ionian Islands ,Macedonia and, Peloponnese Varietals Xinomavro, a variety native to Greece and often compared to Nebbiolo due to its ability to develop complex earthy aromas with age, has the potential to unlock Greece’s full potential, according to its winemakers. A healthy bunch of Xinomavro . The heartland of this high tannin, high acid grape, whose name translates to “acid black”, lies in north west Greece, which is home to two PDO regions for Xinomavro, Amyndeon to the north and Naoussa further south. Greek winemakers in both regions have reaped success outside of Greece by blending Xinomavro with international varieties such as Syrah or Merlot to make them more marketable, however a belief that the industry’s future lies in further promoting the region’s indigenous grapes, so that they may stand alone, prevails.
