\"Greece<\/a><\/p>\n

How lucky that wine and\u00a0culture\u00a0pair so well\u00a0together<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let us introduce you to wines made from the Xinomavro<\/strong><\/a> (ksee-NOH-mah-vroh) grape.\u00a0 These are wine lovers wines, for those who want to debate the great statues of ancient Grecian temples, or perhaps the writings of philosophers like Homer.<\/p>\n

Yes, it was Homer who famously said, \u201cSorry Marge.\u00a0 Some wise guy stuck a cork in the bottle.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 (Same Homer, right?)<\/p>\n

Regarded by many as Greece\u2019s best red wine, Xinomavro has many similarities to Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo producing a wine that has a nice amount of acidity.<\/p>\n

If you love wines from Burgundy or Barolo, this is a great wine for you.\u00a0 Xinomavro pairs very well with meat dishes but due to its crispness, can also be enjoyed with richer seafood.<\/p>\n
