Get Him to the Greek (Wine Varietal!)

It’s time to add a new grape to your repertoire and order a seemingly unpronounceable varietal (see rule #2).
Despite the dreary economic situation, Greece has long been associated with the sybaritic lifestyle, attracting like-minded voluptuaries to places like Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete. Plus, Greek varietal names sound seriously sexy rolling off the tongue, so let’s indulge our hedonistic streak and try a glass of Moschofilero (moh-skoh-FEE-leh-roh).
This grape is grown primarily in the high, cool Mantinia plateau in central Peloponnese, and produces dry white wines that are light in alcohol (between 11.5 to 12 percent), but intensely perfumed with wild florals, spice, stone fruits, and citrus notes on a racy, fresh palate.
Greece boasts 6,500 years of wine-making on its résumé. But a lack of international awareness (partially due to the fairly recent revitalization of the industry) means there are undervalued bottles hiding throughout the city’s wine shops. If you ask me, Greek wines are going to be the next big thing, so taste them while they’re still under the radar and cheap:
Where to try:
The wine list is quite short at the Immigrant, a very intimate, very dark East Village establishment, but it covers some interesting territory. Although I take issue with its thick-lipped wine glasses — I prefer mine sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel — the Moschofilero is a perfect tipple on a balmy night: fresh, mouth-watering acidity with intense aromatics of pear, peach, and white flowers followed by lingering citrus pith on the palate. Antonopoulos Vineyards, Moschofilero, Arkadia, Peloponnese (Greece) $11/glass
Where to buy:
Sherry-Lehman carries Boutari, Mantinia Moschofilero (Greece) 2011 $12.95. Boutari is a leader in the Greek wine renaissance and considered one of the best (and biggest) producers, making its wines easier to find in the States. While Uva in Williamsburg carries Nikiforou, Moschofilero (Greece) 2010 at a steal — just $10.

Macao Gambling Executive Louis Ng Buys Burgundy Estate
ouis Ng, an executive in Stanley Ho’s Macao gaming empire, has purchased Château de Gevrey-Chambertin from the Miteran family in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits for a reported $10 million, outbidding a group of local vintners. The acquisition includes a 12th century château and 5 acres of vines. But the sale has provoked a backlash against foreign investment by some Burgundy residents.
The estate went on the market following the death of Elisabeth Masson Miteran on Nov. 11, 2011, put up for sale by her heirs. It was appraised at $4.4 million. The vineyards, including three plots of premier cru and one plot of grand cru, are all in AOC Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, which were appraised at $1.9 million. The appellation of Gevrey-Chambertin covers 1,360 acres. The vines purchased by Ng produce approximately 1,000 cases per year, and remain under lease to three local growers.
Ng, 60, whose Chinese name is Ng Chi Sing, is the COO and Executive Director of Sociedade de Jogos in Macao, which is owned by SJM Holdings and controlled by gambling billionaire Stanley Ho. Ng was born in Hong Kong, but holds Portuguese citizenship. (Macao is a former Portuguese colony). He oversees 17 casinos and three slot-machine lounges in Macao. He could not be reached for comment.
Jean-Michel Guillon, owner of Domaine Guillon et Fils and president of the Gevrey-Chambertin wine syndicate, explained his reaction to Wine Spectator. “I have nothing against this guy personally. But you love your country, I love mine. We love our cultural heritage. We are asking UNESCO to classify our climats as a World Heritage site—and yet, those terroirs might not remain in our hands.”
Guillon was also a rival bidder. He led a group of local investors who offered $5 million, then upped it to $6.2 million. They had plans to move the tourist office to the much-visited castle and open it to events. But Ng outbid them.
“We’re worried. Where are we headed with this?” said Guillon. “We’re trying to create a dam [against further foreign investment], but it’s complicated.”
French growers have taken militant stances against globalization before, and the Gevrey-Chambertin deal now has France’s Front National (FN), the ultra-conservative nationalist party, chiming in. “This acquisition is emblematic of the dangers that threaten French heritage,” said Florian Philipot, vice president of the FN, in a statement where he denounced the government for not helping the vignerons in their failed acquisition. Philipot is pushing for legislation to impede foreign investment.
Foreigners, particularly Americans, have purchased Burgundy vineyards before, though they often partner with local winery owners. 2012 has brought a ripple of investment: In February, a 28-year-old China-native, Shi Yi, acquired 5 acres in Nuits-St.-Georges, including 2.4 acres of Vosne-Romanée Champs Perdrix near La Tâche. In May, Canadian businessman Moray Tawse, of Tawse Winery on the Niagara Peninsula, acquired Domaine Maume in Gevrey-Chambertin.
Guillon told Wine Spectator that he also feared the whims of the super-rich. “The vignerons that I represent are worried about foreign investors who come in here and buy an estate like you buy a pair of shoes. Apparently, 8 million euros for [Ng] is like 50 euros for me.”
