Ever since the folks @DrinkGreekWine mentioned that they enjoyed some Naoussa (Xinomavro) at Avli Estiatorio in Winnetka (Chicago), we’ve been dying to get there!

We grabbed these photos from their Facebook. Definitely on our next trip to Chicago! Looks AWESOME!

@Elloinos #1 Greek wine for 2011: Boutari Naoussa

Do Bianchi — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:46:18 +0000

In his roundup of value in Greek wine for 2011, top Greek wine blogger Markus Stolz, author of Elloinos, picked Boutari’s 2007 Naoussa as his NUMBER ONE wine.

Here’s what Markus had to say about this bottling, a great vintage from one of the most collectible appellations in Europe today:

If I had to pick just one Greek wine as the red hot value of the year, this would be it. Refinement and balance best describe the wine. It is quite frankly a steal, and given its wide availability, this should be marketed as a showcase for Greek wines. I have no doubt that this can be cellared for many years to come, an outstanding effort.
