Santorini —
"... a harsh reminder that under the idyllic white villages dotted with gyros restaurants, hot tubs in AirBnB rentals, and vineyards on rich volcanic soil, two tectonic plates grind in the Earth's crust."

I haven't opened a bottle of this oaked Santorini (all Assyrtiko) in a few years. The last one was very good, but showing a hint of oxidation. (Predictably, then didn't get to this final bottle for a few more years!) 

This '07 is way better than in its youth--Brilliant. (It's about the bottle, not the wine, as the wine ages; an old saying.) Fresh, concentrated and ripe, it's gorgeous. It is obviously oaked, but handles the wood extremely well.

Classic Vinsanto--mostly Assyrtiko, a dollop of Aidani, from very old vines (60+). Sun dried grapes. This adds 300 g/l of sugar. Yet, it doesn't seem that sweet. There is power here and fine acidity, too, even as rich as it is. With some age, it's gone fully dark in color, but it also isn't decayed at all, just concentrated and caramelized. Absolutely delicious. Six years in barrel before release. Around $40 then for a 500ml. Just 11% alc. #wine #vinsanto #greece #santorini

Kurzer Medienrummel-Nachklapp zu #Santorini (ihr erinnert euch vielleicht ganz vage): Scheint, die Erdbeben waren tatsächlich nur ein ganz normaler Schwarm. Inzwischen hat sich die Lage beruhigt, die Leute kehren auf die Insel zurück.

Das war auch, anders als Teile der Berichterstattung suggeriert hatten, immer das wahrscheinlichste Ergebnis.

... so the nephews dove for some mussels & sea urchins, organized a heap of imported shrimps & a dozen fresh oysters.

The older generation meanwhile collected & boiled wild herbs, cooked fava beans & draped around green onions & vegetables because of Καθαρή Δευτέρα

As wine & tsikoudia {spirit] are off limits they had beers to comply with the Orthodox requirements for fasting.
They are such a lovely bunch of resilient & hedonistic souls...

The quakies between the north cape namely Oia and Amorgos island have gotten weaker. Schools opened again, Santorinians returning. Family will move back to their home on the Caldera cliffs.

Down in Baxedes, the safest spot around they resisted all calls for evacuation. Yesterday was Καθαρή Δευτέρα [Pure Monday] a high Orthodox holy day, start of the fasting period before Easter.
