Wine Review: This white gold colored wine from Greece opens with an Anjou pear and wet stone bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and slightly crisp. The flavor profile is a pleasant and tasty mineral infused Anjou pear. The finish is quite dry and very refreshing. If you have not explored Greek White wines yet, give this one a try and pair it with mussels steamed in a garlic wine sauce. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Colour straw blonde, bright, with a nose of ripe citrus fruit. With refreshing acidity and a delightful after-taste.

Champagne for breakfast and a Sherman in my hand. Peached up, Peached Ale, never fails. Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been. Come on, let's do it again. Do you...you, feel like I do?
