Emery Athiri Rhodos 2004, Greece
concoction: 100% Amoryano
palate: reminiscent of an Italian Chianti, though lighter bodied and spicy, with a little spunk and punch on the end. It tastes of a higher alcohol than its stated 12%.
ruling: Despite the tacky label, I picked this bottle out of curiosity toward Grecian varietals. The Amoryano grapes, also known as Mandilaria, of Rhodes have been cultivated for centuries, and I like to imagine I'm drinking something the philosophers of ancient Greece would swill at symposium. The Rhodos is an easy drinking food wine at a value price.
