QOTD: I’m sure it’s a broken record by now, but Cypress Hill… Gone insane got no brain!

Nice show, Gary.

I am fairly familar with the wines of Cyprus. My wife’s family is there and I have tasted through the wines extensively last winter and summer. My notes can be found here :

Sorry the reds were so uninspiring. Most of the attempts at International varieties are not so successful. A couple of smaller wineries hit the mark, but there is a lot of work to be done with understanding the sites and waiting for the vines to fully mature.

The most exciting reds come from a native variety called Maratheftiko (also known as Vamvakada.) It is annoying to work with since budding is irregular, but it does make a distinctive wine. I had the privilege of having one from 100yr old vines which was a unique wine.

Gary –

Hope you’re feeling better today! Not sure what your reaction will be to your Jets’ win yesterday . . . My Niners, couldn’t pull off another win, but at least they’re somewhat competitive and watchable now.
QOTD: “green-ness”- not the Pacific Northwest cold wet grassy-green-ness, but a hot dry, Mediterannean herbal-green-ness

QOTD: Greece
2nd choice: Some guy I sat next to at a U2 concert. When he told me he lived in Cypress.. I really said to him, “That’s really a place? I thought that was only in Greek Mythology??”
He looked at me like I was a huge asshole.
Oh well. It’s funny now.

Awesome episode. I’m going to Cyprus in March to look at the rocks so will be seeking out some wine while I’m there and will definitely try a xinisteri – thanks for the education!
