Wine with Leslie: Look to Greece for modern wines
Wine with Leslie: Greek winemaking has been going through a renaissance in recent years with modern winemaking producing clean fruit-driven wines and lots of organic and biodynamic wine production
A new year forces us to pause and assess. However, in lieu of giving up things this January however, why not set your sights on acquiring new knowledge instead? The world of wine is broad and diverse and I guarantee there are at least 40 grapes you have never heard of available to try in your local off-licence.
This week I am focusing on Greece — the birthplace of modern wine culture and a fine source of rare grape varieties. You have probably attended a Symposium or two in life but you may not be aware that the word derives from the greek for ‘drinking party’ where groups would meet after dinner to discuss philosophy and music over wine.
