The two-hour wine tasting included a selection
of up-and-coming Greek vineyards and labels. "Greece
is producing some World Class wines and the world wants to
know about it", says Manessis. The Tasting tied into
the Symposium's complimentary theme, "The Greek
Islands as a Yachting Destination". Topics covered
were Greek wine varieties, regions and styles. Manessis discussed
and disseminated know-how on how to properly taste, purchase,
serve and collect wine. This year's tasting highlighted a
select presentation of exclusive Greek vintages for the sophisticated
and discriminating palette. Sponsorship for the 3IYS2004
Wine Tasting Forum was generously provided by CAVA
HALARI.
