Cretan wine-tasting evening
at the Stomatologic Society
of Crete
By Yannis Samatas
January is the month when various societies get together
to cut their New Year’s cake. The Stomatologic Society, too, gathered
its members to celebrate the New Year. The event was combined with a lecture
by the well-known oenologist Mr Douloufakis, on Cretan wine, its
history and useful tips on wine-tasting.

The Stomatologic
Society of Crete is a scientific association whose members include
dentists, orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists and
other specialists from the wider field of dentistry. The purpose
of the Society is the presentation of original papers or research
projects, as well as the discussion of scientific issues within the
Dental Sciences. The Society maintains its own website at: http://www.stomatologikikritis.gr
The members
of the Society had the chance to try many Douloufakis wines, such
as sweet Malvasia (Malmsey), from a grape variety that had vanished from
Crete but is gradually making a comeback thanks to the efforts of various
winegrowers. There were also white Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, and
red Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
The wonderful
tastes and the opportunity for a quiet chat among colleagues made
for a fun atmosphere and a very successful evening.
