Boutari

One of the elements of the 2010 Boutari Social Media Project is keeping up with wine blogs across the U.S.

We were thrilled to find a T[asting] N[ote] on really cool wine blog from Kentucky, Under the Grape Tree, by Kevin Keith, C.S.W.

“Boutari Kretikos Red Crete 2008. Grade=Outstanding. Here in Kentucky,” writes Keith, “we don’t see much in the way of Greek wine, especially value-oriented Greek wine. This red blend of Kotsifali and Mandilaria (no the keys on my laptop weren’t sticking), it has some Primitivo/Zinfandel characteristics: black pepper, black cherry, sandalwood, anise, etc., plus a nice balance and an almost olive tapenade texture on the finish. Very nice.”

Thanks, Keith, for the kind words and the shout out!

We also really enjoy this post by the aptly named Another Wine Blog: check out the beautiful images of Santorini and their visits to the great wineries of the island (an ideal “guide book” post if you’re heading to Santorini this summer).

Happy Friday everyone!
