O R N G E B U B B L Y R O You are reading this because you love wine. Know why you love wine? The Greeks. (And because it makes the soul-crushing trials of life bearable) See, 3000 years ago there were folks bumbling around E the Mediterranean making dumpster fire wine. The Greeks saw this and said, "Hold my ouzo" and then changed the world. Everything we know and love about making and drinking wine was invented by Greeks. Seriously. This is not a "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" thing where Greeks SAY they invented SIP N everything but did not, they really did. Vineyard management? Greeks. Deciding on what grapes were I grown where? Greeks. Using special vessels to drink certain wines out of? Greeks. The concept of the wine tasting? Greeks. The sommelier? Yes, the weirdo writing this has a job because of Greeks. Nobody is perfect. The Greeks invented all of it. So, when you drink wine here you are drinking history. A W history of joy, reflection, and camaraderie. A history that continues in the wines made by the gifted producers on this list. So, grab a glass, pick a wine, thank a Greek, and drink. Yiamas.

  • Changes in the Aromatic Compounds Content in the Muscat Wines As a Result of the Application of Ultrasound During Pre-Fermentative Maceration
    foods Article Changes in the Aromatic Compounds Content in the Muscat Wines as a Result of the Application of Ultrasound during Pre-Fermentative Maceration Fátima Aragón-García, Ana Ruíz-Rodríguez * and Miguel Palma Department of Analytical Chemistry, Center of Agri-Food and Wine Research (IVAGRO), Faculty of Science, University of Cadiz, 11510 Puerto Real, Spain; [email protected] (F.A.-G.); [email protected] (M.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This research focuses on the aromatic composition of Muscat of Alexandria wines after the application of ultrasound for 40 or 80 min during a 4 h pre-fermentative maceration process. Two methods of ultrasound application were compared in this study: probe ultrasound and bath ultrasound, for periods of 10–20 min per hour. Increases of more than 200% were obtained for some of the compounds from the skins, such as two of its terpenes, citronellol and nerol. On the other hand, increases in alcohol and ester values were registered with the application of ultrasound for 40 min. However, a significant decrease in these compounds was recorded when the ultrasound process was extended. In fact, when ultrasound was applied for 80 min, content values were even lower than those registered for the wine produced without the application of ultrasound. At the sensory level, the effect resulting from probe and bath ultrasound application for different times were compared, where most of the judges successfully discriminated the wines resulting from the application of ultrasound bath. According to data, the wines resulting from the application of ultrasound bath for Citation: Aragón-García, F.; 80 min presented the most significant differences, which affected the aromas of white fruit, tropical Ruíz-Rodríguez, A.; Palma, M.

  • Domaine Porto Carras: a Greek Experience with Old World Vines
    LEISURE / FOOD & DRINK / DRINKS Domaine Porto Carras: A Greek experience with old world vines March 18, 2014 5:26 PM MST View all 7 photos Enjoying the wines of Domaine Porto Carras and the cuisine from Ulysses Voyage. Any Olsen Opportunities come in many forms and when you are a wine lover it could be experiencing wines from a new region. In my case, the door opened for me to discover Greek wines. The wines were those of Domaine Porto Carras. In Greece there are 330 varietals of which only seventy- eight are imported. Many of these varietals are native to Greece. Most the wine in Greece is produced in the northern portion of the country. There are twenty different wine regions and the location of Domaine Porto Carras is an appellation onto its own as encompasses the Sithonia Peninsula. This peninsula is one of three that make up the Halkidiki Peninsula, which runs from the city of Thessaloniki south to the Aegean Sea and is shaped like a hand with three fingers. Sithonia is the middle finger. Situated along the coast of Sithonia, the winery sits atop a Cori Solomon hill on the slopes of Mount Meliton and affords magnificent views of the Greek coastline. There are 1100 acres of terraced vineyards, which make it ideal to grow Bordeaux varietals in addition to the Greek ones. The winery is planted with twenty-seven varietals of which thirteen are French and the other fourteen are those native to Greece. The grapes used for the Domanine Porto Carras wines are organically grown and utilize dry farm irrigation.

  • Volatile Compounds in Grapes and Wines from Two Muscat Varieties Cultivated in Greek Islands
    VOLATILE COMPOUNDS IN GRAPES AND WINES FROM TWO MUSCAT VARIETIES CULTIVATED IN GREEK ISLANDS COMPOSÉS VOLATILS DE RAISINS ET DE VINS ISSUS DE DEUX CÉPAGES MUSCAT CULTIVÉS DANS DES ÎLES GRECQUES P. LANARIDIS*, Marie-Jeanne SALAHA, Irini TZOUROU, E. TSOUTSOURAS and S. KARAGIANNIS Wine Institute of Athens, National Agricultural Research Foundation, 1 Sofokli Venizelou str., Lykovrissi 14123, Grèce Abstract: The concentrations of free and glycosidically linked monoterpenes and volatile alcohols in grapes and wines from the cultivars Muscat lefko and Muscat of Alexandria, cultivated in the islands of Samos and Lemnos respectively, were determined. The relationship between free and linked monoterpenes in grapes and wines as well as the relationship between grapes and wines in their monoterpene content was investigated, showing some diffe- rences between the two cultivars and the different vineyards. It is also demonstrated that skin-contact for 8 h at a temperature up to 15 °C, resulted in marked increases in the concentrations of free and linked monoterpenes in wines from both Muscat cultivars. Résumé : Les concentrations des monoterpènes libres et glycosylés dans des raisins et les vins correspondants issus des cépages Muscat lefko et Muscat d’Alexandrie cultivés dans les îles grecques de Samos et de Lemnos, ont été déterminées. On a mesuré les concentrations de l’alcool benzylique, de phényl-2-éthanol et des alcools en C6, libres et glycosylés. L’extraction des composants libres et glycosylés des jus de raisins et des vins a été réalisée à l’aide d’un adsorbant (C18) et de différents solvants. Cette technique permet d’isoler et de séparer les fractions libres et glycosylées de l’arôme.
