    ARTEMIS KARAMOLEGOS WINES DESCRIPTIONS FOR WINE EXPERTS Having its roots in the volcanic soil of Santorini and tradition that goes back to 1952, the winery of Artemis Karamolegos is one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving wineries of Santorini. All its wines have been distinguished in several important International Wine Competitions. The winery has the most modern facilities for wine production, spaces for wine testing and a shop for wines and selected local products. Artemis Karamolegos had the innovative idea to combine the experience of a tour at the winery with lunch at the restaurant Aroma Avlis, the menu of which has the signature of the talented chef Christos Coskinas. In its spacious new yard offering view to the vineyard and the beaches of Monolithos and Avis, as well as in the dinning halls, you can taste the delicious Mediterranean and local dishes made with fresh, carefully selected local products, accompanied with wines from the winery. The history of the winery goes back to the 1952, where the grandfather, Artemis, was cultivating the vineyards in order to produce wine for his own family and later on, in order to sell it in the island and in the rest of Greece. Artemis Karamolegos, the grandson who succeeded his grandfather and his father at the winery of Exo Gonia, is an energetic young man full of passion for his Job. Since 2004 and until today, he managed to lead, miraculously, the family business many steps ahead very fast. In 2004, a turn to a modern and of a high quality production winery took place, with the production of a bottled, labeled and of a good quality wine named “SANTORINI”.

    Reserve Wines By The Glass Served Tableside via Coravin WHITES & ROSÉS ASSYRTIKO, Domaine Sigalas, Santorini, Greece, 2013 ....................................................... 11 Grown on the volcanic soils of the island of Santorini, assyrtiko is truly a pleasure to drink. Grown in a basket style with the grapes in the center to protect from the vicious winds, the wine is acid driven with loads of minerality and personality; this a wine to try is you love dry riesling or sauvignon blanc. CHARDONNAY, Cakebread, Napa Valley, California, 2012 ........................................................ 20 CHARDONNAY, Domaine Savary, Chablis, Burgundy, France, 2012 ...................................... 13.75 ROSÉ, Bellwether Wine Cellars, “Vin Gris,” Finger Lakes, New York, 2013 ...................... 13 Bellwether Wine Cellars winemaker Kris Matthewson was just called a “rockstar” in the New York Times and this wine, along with his wonderful dry riesling and pinot noir, shows why. A vin gris, or “grey wine”—a white wine made from red grapes—this is more akin to dry rose than white wine. Natural winemaking at its finest, with no unnecessary additives or intervention, Bellwether continues to be a leader of geeky winemaking in the Finger Lakes, and shows what the region can do with passionate people always pushing the boundaries.
