Thalassitis Santorini Assyrtiko
Santorini, Aegean, Greece
if you see "Assyrtiko" on a #wine list, just order it. You'll love it, I promise. It's the perfect white #wine for a sweltering summer, refreshing AND interesting AND affordable. Here at the surprisingly great new resto @MotelMorris. (And #Greek wineries: you need to do a better job of promoting how delicious your #wines can be!)

Really nice. Soft, fruity, but dry with good acidity.

Best assyrtiko I've had so far. All steel but paradoxically feels like it has a touch of oak on the nose. Complex and will unwind wonderfully w age.

Aug 21st, 2016Love this wine. Rich nose, ocean salinity with lemon. Wish I had some clams garlic and parsley.

Current favorite of this grape. Dry a touch sour but not lip puckering. The view doesn't hurt either.
