1. Ugh, poor you!

Did you have fun while it happened though? :D

[Kellanved]

2. Retsina ?

if so: ouch.

:hangover:

[LynneSin]

6. Something that started with TS

and it was basically cheap wine at best, but we were caught up in the festivities of the Greek Festival

:eyes:

3. It's strange, for a culture that's been making wine so long

they seem to leave a lot of other stuff than alcohol in it, which neither tastes nice, nor does your head any good the next day, as far as I'm concerned.

4. That, and Dionysus translates roughly to 'sadistic mofo'

If I remember my Greek, of course. :D

5. The reds and whites are fine wines - Retsina recalls the traditional

taste of ALL ROMAN WINE - cause by sealing the urns with pine tar.

An aquired taste - but it is nice with BBQ fish at sunset!

[LynneSin]

7. I think I'm going to puke

:puke:

I need something for my stomach, but at least I got rid of the pounding headache I woke up with at 4 in the morning

:cry:

8. Was Ouzo part of the evening, as well?

Mix those two and trouble REALLY starts.

[LynneSin]

11. Only Orzo, no Ouzo

I don't like anything licorice flavored

[papau]

Try Metaxa Brandy - nice great grape flavor-and the 7 star is very smooth

Getting old so you can not really drink sucks!

9. Tsaousi?

A cultivar believed to be of Egyptian origin, Tsaoúsi has been culivated widely throughout the Mediterannean and the Balkans, including in Algeria, Turkey, Bulgaria and Northern Greece. The grapes produce wines of moderate acidity; timely harvesting is the key to sustaining healthy levels. Like so many ancient varieties, it produces mildly fruity wines whose noses tend towards honey. At present it is most commonly associated with Kefaloniá, where it has figured prominently in local wines, gaining renown in the 1980s when Nicholas Cosmetatos blended it with the more crisp Robola to create the most elegant and international Greek whites of their time.

tar taste!
