🥂 Episode 31: Assyrtiko – A Salty Breeze Join me for a sun-soaked journey to the Greek Isles as we explore one of the most captivating white wines you've (maybe) never tried — Assyrtiko. Grown on the volcanic island of Santorini, this grape brings a salty breeze, razor-sharp acidity, and centuries of history straight to your glass. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why Assyrtiko thrives in Santorini’s harsh, dry, volcanic conditions - What makes its flavor profile so wildly different from other white wines - How ancient vine-growing techniques like “kouloura” protect these old, unbothered-by-phylloxera vines - Ways winemakers are experimenting with styles — from crisp stainless steel to complex oak-aged and even skin-contact wines - The best foods to pair with it (spoiler: grilled octopus, lemony dishes, and sushi are on the list) If you're ready to branch out from your go-to whites and sip something that tells a story, Assyrtiko might just be your new favorite discovery. Subscribe for more wine adventures, and keep exploring — your next favorite grape could be just a glass away. 🍷…
