2008 Boutari Moschofilero

I have little experience with white wines from Greece so when I saw the 2008 Boutari Moschofilero at my local Costco at a very nice price - I went for it. I am sipping it now with a nice plate of smoked Alaskan Salmon and fresh italian toast twists.

Sometimes food can almost "cheat" the score of a wine, but if I'm enjoying a wine from Greece - eating some strong flavored cold fish seems right.

The Boutari Moschofilero had a light color that seemed good on a warm day hanging outside.

The aroma of this greek wine was subdued. It was opened pretty cold but still had nose of apple, spritz, with some sweet lime. The palate was light and fun. Nothing heavy or complex, but a fun chugger here. The taste had a nice orange and spritz taste with an expect light finish.

Only 11.5% alcohol but the balance seemed there.

This is just a wine you'd drink if you wanted something cold and fun and you didn't want a beer or anything too crazy wine wise.

The Salmon helped the Boutari Moschofilero

85 Points but it wasn't about the rating this time. I still enjoyed it.
