Re: As you can see...
Actually most commercial retsina brands are earmarked for tourists and are quite horrible. Whever I get the urge, I generally stick to the home-made stuff. though retsina is certainly not my cup of tea.
Guess what my 100% favorite brand of Greek wine is? Its called "Ktima Gaia" (Gaia Estate):)) Its produced by a rather small and very creative winery in Nemea. The wine's color is so deep red, its almost black. If I were a jewitch too, I sould beam you some :P

PavlosI'm thinking about a bottle or two of Glenmorangie 18-yr-old Single Malt Scotch. Alas, that seems to be the closest I can get to Ktima Gaia.If you can find some of this particular Scotch in a local liquor store or tavern, try it, you might like it (but it is rather expensive :p). :)Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

Sorry you couldnt find Gaia wine; it is kinda hard to find it even here, production is only about 1,000 bottles per year :(
I'll try and locate Glenmorangie, thanks the tip!

I'll look for some Ktima Gaia around here (I can buy it since I'll never see the other side of twenty in this lifetime). ;)
