2/2

Perfect pairing for many dishes (try white clam sauce). From this bottle, there are good years of life left. Not really a surprise. Assyrtiko can age and this winery makes 'em that way. 14%, $60-ish for new vintages these days.

I haven't opened a bottle of this oaked Santorini (all Assyrtiko) in a few years. The last one was very good, but showing a hint of oxidation. (Predictably, then didn't get to this final bottle for a few more years!) 

This '07 is way better than in its youth--Brilliant. (It's about the bottle, not the wine, as the wine ages; an old saying.) Fresh, concentrated and ripe, it's gorgeous. It is obviously oaked, but handles the wood extremely well.

French geologist Ferdinand André Fouqué, who died OTD in 1904, studied volcanic gas and eruptive rocks on #Santorini, where he also made archaeological discoveries https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/greece/santorini.html?s=mb #travel #Greece #geology

1/2 The end to Wed. I didn't get to: Classic Vinsanto--mostly Assyrtiko, dollop of Aidani, from very old vines (60/80). Sun dried grapes. This adds 300 g/l of sugar. Yet, it doesn't seem that sweet. There is power here and fine acidity too, even as rich as it is. To reply #wine #greece #santorini

Kurzer Medienrummel-Nachklapp zu #Santorini (ihr erinnert euch vielleicht ganz vage): Scheint, die Erdbeben waren tatsächlich nur ein ganz normaler Schwarm. Inzwischen hat sich die Lage beruhigt, die Leute kehren auf die Insel zurück.

Das war auch, anders als Teile der Berichterstattung suggeriert hatten, immer das wahrscheinlichste Ergebnis.

#Santorini update

... so the nephews dove for some mussels & sea urchins, organized a heap of imported shrimps & a dozen fresh oysters.

The older generation meanwhile collected & boiled wild herbs, cooked fava beans & draped around green onions & vegetables because of Καθαρή Δευτέρα

As wine & tsikoudia {spirit] are off limits they had beers to comply with the Orthodox requirements for fasting.
They are such a lovely bunch of resilient & hedonistic souls...

The quakies between the north cape namely Oia and Amorgos island have gotten weaker. Schools opened again, Santorinians returning. Family will move back to their home on the Caldera cliffs.

Down in Baxedes, the safest spot around they resisted all calls for evacuation. Yesterday was Καθαρή Δευτέρα [Pure Monday] a high Orthodox holy day, start of the fasting period before Easter.

Meat, fish strictly forbidden...

Checking in on the Kaiju. Still low grade rumbling, but no big change in the pattern.... #kaiju #earthquakes #volcano #santorini

#Geology Prof Shawn Willsey gives an update on the declining number of #Earthquakes northeast of the Greek island of #Santorini.

Spoilers:
Santorini and the other island are still there.
Earthquakes are continuing but at a lower magnitudes and not quite as often.

Quick #kaiju check. Something still rumbling around there in the Aegean, but no new major developments. M4.2, M3.8 recently, lots of small earthquakes. #earthquakes #volcano #santorini #kolombo
