A Taste of Greece

If you have never been down to UFS for one of our wine tasting here is your chance. Friday, July 17th we are having a wine tasting that will feature some wines of Greece... Not quite the sultry summer vacation I was hoping to take to the Greek Isles, but I'm hoping if I close my eyes and sip slowly it will feel close.

Bring a friend-- Friday, 2-6 pm (nothing quite so decadent as sipping wine in the middle of a Friday afternoon!).

First up is a 2006 Skouras Megas Oenos (try saying that three times fast). According to "Wine & Spirits" magazine "a touch of smoky oak adds polish" to this red wine "but not so much as to cover up the warm, cherry-red fruit and forest floor fragrance." Furthermore it was given a 93 rating by the magazine (and heck, they know their stuff). Get it for less at UFS! A 750 ml bottle will cost you $19.99!

Another wine we'll be tasting is the 2008 Sigalas Santorini, which is a white wine that was given a rating of 90 by "Wine & Spirits". The magazine calls it "unusually forward" which is how I like my wine... and my men, I won't lie... Take a bottle home for $16.99.

Another tasty, tasty buy is the 2008 Sigalas Asirtiko Athiri. Rated at a 90, "Wine & Spirits" reviewed it as "fragrant with honeysuckle and rich with sweet pineapple flavor". This is a perfect summer wine with an even summer-y (yes, I'm pretty sure that's a word) price of $11.99.

"Polished and elegant yet succulent and juicy"-- No, "Wine & Spirits" is not describing me! But rather the 2007 Skouras St. George. Modern, yet soulfull, (another description that could pertain to me) this red with a 90 rating is priced at $10.99. Who knew soul was so affordable?

The 2008 Skouras Moschofilero, which is rated at 88 by "Wine & Spirits", is a rich white that goes great with grilled fish. And if you need some grilling utensils-- hey! we have those too! At the bargain price of $11.99 a bottle, you'll have some cash leftover for this cool grilling tool:
Last up are our two extreme value wines-- the 2008 Skouras White and the 2007 Skouras Red. At $6.99 you can afford to stock up for you End of Summer Parties... or your Mid-July Shin-Digs... or your Friday Night Get-Togethers... or even your Tuesday Night "Stay At Homes"! Because a nice bottle of wine needs no occasion. ;)
