| Hi Utz and Thanos, I tasted a couple of Greek wines recently and with regard to the hot climat of Greece I was really surprised by the whites who were rather flowery-fruity but which also had a nice and sometimes even crisp acidity. @Utz: I agree with you that Agiorgitiko makes good wine, especially in the Nemea region, but I'd say that Agiorgitiko also makes fine blends with Cabernet Sauvignon which are more to my taste. So there's no either-or between local and international grape varieties Just my 0,02 EUR.
