Greek Wine Tasting Event
May 1, 2018
At this annual, spring, Montreal's Greek wines event, 32 vineyards were represented this year. Each displayed a great number of new Greek wines, some vintages as old as 2006. Amazingly, quite a few were organic wines, and a few more more grown and produced organically though those specific lands have not yet received the organic certification. It was a pleasure to discover the augmenting trend in producing organic wines.
General public does not know, unfortunately, too much about Greek wines. Yet they are becoming very complex and sophisticated during the past few decades. As Greeks generally do not drink wine without food, they are all developed to accompany meals and to merry perfectly with meets and cheeses. They augment the epicurean experience of good eating and make any food gathering joyful and delectable.
This year once again the event was well attended by a great number of wine professionals from Montreal and its nearby regions. The place was buzzing with wine conversations and tips exchanging. I personally was quite a few times directed by total strangers to taste some specific wines that they liked. The atmosphere was friendly and fully concentrated to discover the new tastes of Greece and its different vintages.
