Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

Assyrtiko – 2014; Sigalas Santorini; Santorini, Greece
Behold this great Greek wine! The deep
blond color with a tinge of green is just the beginning of your tantalizing
experience. Citrus notes are quite pronounced on the nose. Take your time
on the first sip, indulge in kiwi and melon flavors that dazzle your taste
buds. The acids are a bit strong, but that just ensures you the experience is
real. You will also discern a slight effervescence that just adds to the
character and makes this wine more interesting. There is a long refreshing
and tingling honey note that lingers and is joined with distinct minerality on
the finish. A great treat for hot summer days and nights. This is
refreshing and pairs nicely with fresh salads or dish dishes.
