Best Wine of the Summer - By Far

My favorite wine of the summer is a little Greek white wine I learned about through Eric Asimov's wine column in the NY Times. It's the Mantinia Tselepos made from the Moschofilero grape, an indigenous varietal to Greece. Asimov described is "smelling like rose petals and tasting like grapefruit" and it is absolutely correct. In a sea of wine that all try to taste the same, this wine is beautiful and different. Pair with lighter seafood dishes, raw oysters, salads and sushi.
We have it in the Enomatics right now if you are curious and want to taste it.

Who Is The Best Wine Writer in the US?

My pick hands down would be Eric Asimov from the NY Times.
Not only is his writing clear and concise but he always manages to get the story behind the wines. His articles are always a mix of people, place and how the wines taste. He includes the food editor and local sommelier to conduct tastings and the web interactive feature offered online with the articles are just stellar.

Crisp, Refreshing and Greek is his latest. kybecca happens to have his top pick as well.
