QUICK BITE: Santo Winery on Santorini

If you are a wine lover visiting Santorini, you won't want to miss going to Santo Winery.  Amazing wines and a great view.  

You can choose to sample six, nine or twelve. You can guess what we tried.  

And great views.  

My favorite wine was the barrel aged white which was similar to a chardonnay.  The also had a delicious dessert wine which beats any port I have ever had.

Private Wine Tasting at Planet Hollywood

We had a private wine tasting tonight with Edgar the head sommelier at the hotel. He did it "blind" so we had some fun trying to guess the grape variety, whether new world or old world and the country. All of them were from Mexico although we guessed elsewhere. The most surprising was the Barbera which is a relatively new grape variety that has a lot of characteristics of the Pinot noir grape.  

This cost $35/person and was held in Sixth Sense.
