THE WINES:
DAVE'S WINE
Pitys Ritinitis (aka Retsina) NV
100% Assyrtiko from vineyards in Katarrachia and Mantineia, Greece. With, of course, pine resin added! That's what makes it a "retsina"! A daily drinker in Greece, the vegemite of Greece, it tastes like wine made from an alien to everyone else.
Ancient Greeks used to seal off wine-filled amphorae with pine resin. The resin would then seep into the wine itself, and act as a preservative! They came to love the flavor, too, and so the practice continues to the present day. Note that most modern Greek wine does NOT do this, only those marked "Ritinitis" or "Retsina".
DALLAS' WINE
2022 Domaine des Sables Verts Saumur-Champigny "Glouglou"
An mostly "natural" wine (minimal sulfites have been added, but the winemakers work as "naturally" as possible and are in the process of being certified organic). Crafted in the Loire valley, the Saumur-Champigny AOC in specific in a 16 hectare domanie, this is 100% Cabernet Franc and is meant to be drunk young. Fresh red fruit, high acidity, soft tannins, and subtle hints of florals and fresh earth.
