Retsina

From the very first time I tried Greek food I fell in love for it, it is rich, tasty and flavoursome. I haven’t heard much of Greek wines but was invited to have dinner with some friends who cooked the most amazing dishes and introduced me to this new variety.
When it comes to Retsina, opinions are divided, some people can’t stand it but others love it, I am in the second group. This Greek wine, called the wine of Gods, has a strong flavour coming from the pine resin used in the elaboration process.
I've tried it with a very nice Greek dish, tiger prawns in a tomato sauce and feta cheese flamed with ouzo and some herbs and spices like cinnamon. A must, Yamas!
