In the Netherlands we have a saying: a good neighbor is worth more than a friend far away. We have the best of both worlds, as our neighbors are also very good friends.

Onirovins's insight:
The wine with the main course was a 2021 Vamvakada by the Tsiakkas winery in Cyprus, aged for 12 to 14 months in French and American oak. Vamvakada is a unique local grape variety from ungrafted, phylloxera free vines at 900-1200 meters above sea level (the label suggestively says “on the steep slopes of Troodos mountains that reach 1460 meters above sea level”, but the vines are not actually planted that high up). This grape variety is also known as Maratheftiko or Bambakada. I always like tasting new grape varieties and this wine was delicious. Very elegant and balanced.

I love wine lists which tie together the whole concept of a business. The opportunities here are hugely varied. The world in general has become so much better connected, and alongside cheaper travel, cultural knowledge has spread much more readily making local, regional gems easier to find. This too can be said for winemaking, which through shared experiences and practices is developing at a fast pace.
