Pale yellow with hints of silver-gray. Intense on the nose but still very elegant. The classic varietal aromas of rose petals are evident in the background while the background characteristics of moschofilero (apple, peach and pear) dominates. On the palate it is crisp and dry with a balanced but refreshing acidity. The long, intense finish adds the final touch to this elegant but demanding Mantinia.]]> http://susty.com/wine-mantinia-domaine-spiropoulos-greek-greece-vintage-2007/feed/ 0 Organic and Vegan Wine: Domaine Spiropoulos Vineyards & Winery http://susty.com/wine-domaine-spiropoulos-organic-vegan/ http://susty.com/wine-domaine-spiropoulos-organic-vegan/#comments Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:16:31 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=1411 We're completely biased since this is my pre-Ellis Island surname as it is spelled in Greek.

We also hear tell of her attempt to snatch from the water a slippery, spawning salmon using only her bare hands -- bets any one, think she pull it off or not? Last but not least is her brush with five or six grizzly bears while kayaking (spoiler warning on this one) we're pretty sure she lived to tell the tale.]]> http://susty.com/gifts-for-the-outdoors-lover-summer-rayne-oakes-video/feed/ 0 BOOKS» Great Bear Rainforest: Canada’s Forgotten Coast http://susty.com/great-bear-rainforest-canada-forgotten-coast-book-authors-ian-mcallister-karen-mcallister-cameron-young/ http://susty.com/great-bear-rainforest-canada-forgotten-coast-book-authors-ian-mcallister-karen-mcallister-cameron-young/#comments Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:19:35 +0000 by Sue Antosh, Long Beach, NY, USA http://susty.com/?p=1327 The Great Bear Rainforest: Canada's Forgotten Coast, published by Sierra Club Books, is a wonderful read and visual stunner. From the Foreword by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I hope this book will help awaken people to the importance of this last magnificent stand of the great North American rainforest. If it is destroyed, history will not judge us harshly because few will know the magnificence that has been lost. Those of us who remember will only be able to open this book and say to our children, in Norman Maclean's lament, 'Oh what a wonderful world it was.'
