  • Artemis Karamolegos Wines Descriptions for Wine Experts
    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”.

  • Copy of Food & Wine June 2014
    Food & Wine June 2014 The Journal of The International Wine & Food Society Europe & Africa Committee Free to European & African Region Members - one per address - Issue 179 Santorini Festival Food Photography Greek Feast CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Dear Members I am encouraged that two members have shown interest in assisting with the committee’s activities fol- lowing the appeal in the last issue. The committee welcomes their interest. We would still appreciate some IT input, and PR expertise so that the issue of attracting new members can be addressed. Indications on membership are following the usual pattern, where we start after renewals around 5% down on membership, and then with late renewals, new members and new branches, we end the year 1%-2% down. Our aim this year is to reverse this trend. Each branch will need to make an extra effort and the committee will give backup in whichever way it can. The ABRM (Annual Branch Representatives Meeting) has been well advertised and as well as the usual business two significant issues will be debated. For those who will not be there I will summarise the aspects of ‘Incorporation’ and the planned timetable here. 1.The Society ‘IWFS Ltd’ is a company whose office and directors are registered in the UK. The Directors form the Council and the EAC, BGA, and APZ are committees running the zones. No change to the Society is proposed. It will remain with the same representation from the zones, the same objectives, the same funding and reserve targets. 2. The Zones will become limited companies in their own right and will be licensed by the Society to use the name, logo, and participate in International festivals and events.

  • Focus on Santorini – and Other Greek Offerings
    FOCUS ON SANTORINI – AND OTHER GREEK OFFERINGS 7KH*UHHNUHYLHZVLQWKLVLVVXHKDYHDIDLUQXPEHURI$VV\UWLNRRIIHULQJVDPRQJRWKHUV LQFOXGLQJVRPHÀQH bargains in reds). Although there is Assyrtiko made in other places in Greece (some of which is rather charming, but usually not made in quite the same, steely style), Santorini is the signature appellation for Assyrtiko, so let me say a few general words about Santorini wines (overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly Assyrtiko) for those just getting to know them. This small appellation often surprises people because Santorini is best known as a tourist destination given its gorgeous location, with the vivid blue water contrasting with the pretty, white buildings in fairy tale fashion. (You can see some photographic evidence on eRobertParker.com here) Yet, this is a small and special wine region, too, with an ancient tradition. The grapes are grown differently, in low, basket shaped vines; it rarely rains – water often comes with the evening fog; and the old vines were never attacked by phylloxera (Santorini’s volcanic soils are evidently not acceptable for phylloxera). Typical appellation whites are generally just called “Santorini” – you are expected to know that means it is an Assyrtiko-dominated wine XQGHU DSSHOODWLRQ UXOHV 3XUH DQG VWHHO\ WKH\ KDYH ÀQH GHSWK DQG hold up well to food. Santorini’s other signature wine is its fantastic and ageworthy sweet wine called Vinsanto, which is an ancient island trademark copied by many; hint: vinSANTOas in Santorini. It is dominated by Assyrtiko, of course. Some wines have small amounts of Santorini’s more minor whites –Athiri and Aidani (up to 25% combined). %HVLGHVWKRVHSXUHDQGVWHHO\$VVW\ULNRV\RXFDQÀQGRWKHUW\SHV of wines on Santorini, of course, including monovarietal Aidani, the occasional red and other versions of Assyrtiko, such as oaked wines.

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    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.
