WINES FROM ISLANDS

Summer is the time of year when thoughts turn to enjoying family and friends in exotic locales. Around the world, islands have become some of the most favored vacation destinations for the summer traveler. And it just so happens to be the case that many islands around the world have vineyards whose proximity to the ocean acts as a great benefit. Large bodies of water are nature’s climate control system, and grape vines flourish in climates that are warm, but benefit from the cooling effect that the ocean can have. What could be more fitting…..sipping a wine from an island in a restaurant called

 Nisi which is the Greek word for island!
