FURTHER UPDATES.
BUT AS YOU JUST MENTIONED --
>> WINE WEDNESDAY.
>> IT IS WINE WEDNESDAY.
>> WE'VE ALL HEARD OF ITALIAN
WINES, EVEN SPANISH WINES, BUT
WHAT ABOUT GREEK WINES?
>> HERE'S EVAN TURNER FROM HELEN
GREEK FOOD AND WINE.
>> THANKS FOR COMING IN.
>> OF COURSE.
>> YOU'RE GOING TEST OUR WINE
KNOWLEDGE?
>> THAT IS TRUE.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE
PLAYING FOR THIS CHAMPIONSHIP OF
CHALICES.
THIS AMAZING -- THE WINE MASS
TRICHALICE.
-- MASS TERRY CHALLENGE
WRITINGS.
GREE WINE.
IT'S BEST USED AS A CLEANING
PRODUCT, NOT AN ACTUAL WINE.
BUT THEY ARE MAKING INCREDIBLE
WINES.
ALL AROUND GREECE.
IT'S A COUNTRY THE SIZE OF
LOUISIANA.
THEY HAVE OVER 300 INDIGENOUS
VARIETALS.
THANK YOU MAKE STALLERING GOOD
WIN -- STAGGERING GOOD WINE.
>> I NEED A TASTING.
>> I WANTED TO -- WE'RE GOING TO
TASTE BETWEEN A FEW DIFFERENT
WINES.
FIRST IS, I WANT YOU TO TASTE
THESE WINES AND SEE WHICH ONE IS
MORE EXPENSIVE.
IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHICH ONE IS
MORE EXPENSIVE, LET'S TASTE THIS
ONE FIRS
>> OKAY.
>> AND I WILL GIVE YOU ONE HINT.
THEY'RE BOTH FROM THE SAME
PLACE.
BOTH FROM THE LOVELY ISLAND OF
SANTARINI.
OTHER THAN THAT, YOU HAVE TO
FIGURE IT OUT YOURSEL
>> OKAY.
GOT THAT ONE.
>> LET'S MOVE TO WINE NUMBER
TWO.
>> WINE NUMBER TWO.
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT A MORE
EXPENSIVE WINE ALWAYS TASTES
BETTER, IS THAT TRUE?
>> NOT ALWAYS AT ALL.
AND REALLY IT'S A ALL OF MATTER
WHAT YOU LIKE TO DRINK.
THAT'S THE OTHER POINT.
THERE'S NO TIMER.
>> GOING BACK.
>> AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER
IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION.
YOU JUST MERELY HAVE TO SAY
WHICH ONE YOU THINK IS MORE
EXPENSIVE.
>> I THINK NUMBER TWO IS MORE
EXPENSIVE.
>> I THINK NUMBER ONE.
THE TASTE A LITTLE MORE SULTLE.
THERE ARE -- SUBTLE.
THIS IS ACIDIC TO ME.
THE WINNER IS NUMBER TWO.
SO YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
AND THE OTHER THING ABOUT BEING
MORE ACIDIC.
GREEK WINES TEND FOR MORE
ACIDIC.
BUT IT MAKES THEM WORK BETTER
WITH FOOD, PARTICULARLY WITH
GREEK FOOD.
>> WE'RE MOVING ON.
COMPARED TO A SAFIN --
>> THAT'S WHAT WE DO AT HELEN
GREEK FOOD AND WINE.
THE FIRST QUESTION WE ALWAYS SAY
IS WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DRINK AND
WE'LL FIND SOMETHING FOR YOU
THAT THE REALLY WORK THAT WAY.
SO HERE'S THE WIG ONE.
A LOT OF -- BIG ONE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK SCREW CAPS
AND ACTUAL WORK, BIG DEBATE.
ARE SCREW CAPS NO GOOD.
DOES THE MEAN THE WINE IS CHEAP
OR NOT VERY TASTY.
IT'S BUNK.
I WANT YOU TO TASTE BETWEEN
THESE TWO WINES, WHICH ONE COMES
IN A SCREW CAP AND WHICH ONE IS
A CORK CLOSURE.
>> THAT ONE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> ISN'T IT A BIG THING,
THOUGH --
>> I'M VERY IMPRESSED.
YOU'RE DOUBLE-PHYSICAL TING IT
IN THE AFTERNOON.
>> IT'S 9:00 IN GREECE.
>> THIS IS TRUE.
>> I SKIPPED BREAKFAST AND LUNCH
SO I'M ALREADY FEELING A BIT
BUZZED FROM THE SINCE.
>> I SHOWED UP -- SIPS.
>> I SHOWED UP HALF IN THE BAG.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I'M KIDDING.
>> CAN YOU GIVE US SOME TIPS?
HOW DO WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A CORK BOTTLE AND A
SCREW TOP?
>> THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.
THERE IS NO QUALITATIVE
DIFFERENCE.
THERE ARE WINES IN SCREW CAP
THAT COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.
THERE ARE WINES THAT GO INTO
CORK THAT COST NINE.
AND IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST
MISNOMERS.
SADLY, FOR SOME REASON, PEOPLE
THINK THAT SCREW CAPS ARE NO
GOOD.
IT'S NOT TRUE.
CORK IS QUITE RARE.
SCREW CAPS ARE ACTUALLY -- THE
ACTUAL SCREW CAP THAT YOU PUT --
ON TO A WINE COSTS MORE IN MANY
CASES THAN A COR DOES.
>> SCREW CAPS ARE NOW BEEN
AROUND FOR A WHILE.
>> A LONG TIME.
THEY FIND THAT THEY KEEP THE
WINE BETTER.
THEY ALLOW THE WINE TO AGE JUST
THE SAME AS CORK.
AND YOU NEVER RUN INTO PROBLEMS
LIKE CORK TAME WHERE THE WINE
REACTS TO A CHEMICAL IN THE
CORK.
>> WE HAVE TO GIVE AN ANSWER --
>> YES.
>> AND THE QUESTION IS WHICH ONE
IS FROM SCREW CAP.
>> AND WHAT'S NOT.
THIS IS NOT FAIR.
>> ONE IS THE SCREW CAP.
>> IT'S QUITE CLEAR.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT ON TV.
I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE LIKE JUST
BROUGHT OU THE ACTUAL WINE
RATHER THAN THE WINE IN THE
BOTTLE.
SO YOU BOTH WIN THIS BY DEFAULT.
>> MY PREFERENCES IS THE
DESCRI CAP.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S A DELICIOUS WINE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY ALSO FROM THE
ISLAND OF SANTORINI.
IT'S A BLEND OF TWO GRAPES.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS FROM
A WONDERFUL WINERY.
I PERSONALLY LIKE THIS QIEN A
LOT.
THIS IS -- WINE A LOT.
THIS IS FROM LITERALLY MOUNT
OLYMPUS.
THEY GROW THIS ON POINT OLYMPUS.
IT'S VERY COOL.
>> A SCREW TOP IS MORE
CONVENIENT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET OUT THE
FANCY CORKSCREW.
>> I'M GOING TO --
>> PICNIC IN A PARK, SO EASY.
A CONSETTER WHERE ROAR --
CONCERT WHERE YOU'RE ALLOWED TO
HAVE WINE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> LET'S DO THE WHOLE FOOD AND
WINE PAIRING.
>> THIS IS ALWAYS THE TRICKIEST.
AND WHAT I'VE DONE --
>> YOU HAVE A SNICKER ON YOUR
FACE.
>> I'VE CAUSED YOU PROBLEMS.
SO WE HAVE A SALAD AND A SEAFOOD
DISH.
ONE WOULD THINK BOTH WHITE WINE.
BUT IT'S NOT TRUE.
ONE IS WHITE, ONE IS RED.
LET ME GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS.
THE SALAD HERE HAS GOT NICE
TANGY CHEESE, BLACK OLWRIFS,
LOTS -- OLIVES, LOTS OF
DIFFERENT CITRUS INCLUDING BLOOD
ORANGES.
FENNELL AND MINT.
AND FINISHED WITH POME --
POMEGRANATE.
THE SEAFOOD HAS CHEESE,
POTATOES, OLIVES, AND GRILLED
OCTOPUS.
SO THE QUESTION IS WHICH GOES
WITH WHICH?
>> WHICH -- SOME PEOPLE WOULD
SAY THAT WHENEVER YOU'RE HAVING
SEA FOOD, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE
A WOULD WHITE WINE.
BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE.
>> I'M NOT SAYING A THING.
I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU HANGING
ON THIS ONE.
>> I'M GOING TO GO RED WITH THE
SALAD, WHITE WITH THE OCTOPUS.
>> AND I'M GOING SAY WHITE WITH
THE SALAD AND RED WITH THE
OCTOPUS.
>> WE HAVE A TIE.
HE'S CORRECT.
HOWEVER, THIS ONE IS CLOSE.
YOU REALLY COULD GO EITHER WAY.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE TIED 2-2.
SO WE GO TO THE ELIMINATION
ROUND.
>> YOU -- THE EMPHASIS ON THE
BLOOD ORANGES.
I'M THINKING RED.
>> OF COURSE IT IS.
I'M A HORRIBLE PERSON.
EVERYONE I WORK WITH KNOWS IN.
SO I WANTED TO TRY TO TRIP YOU
UP.
>> WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DRINK WHAT
YOU LIKE?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> IF YOU LIKE A RED WIN --
>> THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING I
TRY TO TELL PEOPLE.
I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT THEY
DECIDE TO JUDGE WINES AND SCORE
WINES, BUT HONESTLY, DRINK WHAT
YOU LIKE.
PEOPLE EAT FOODS THAT THEY LIKE.
THEY DRINK THE SODAS THAT THEY
LIKE.
NO ONE SAID, I DRINK PEPSI
BECAUSE IT GOT 94 POINTS AND
COCA-COLA GOT 90.
>> WE HAVE TO MOVE ON.
>> GOING TO THE TIEBREAKER.
IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY, WHO IS THE
GREEK GOD OF WINE?
A, ZEUS, B, DIONIIS, C -
>> B.
>> I'LL SAY C.
>> WE HAVE A CHAMPION, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN!
THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF WINE, WITH
THE ANSWER -- CONGRATULATIONS!
YES, DRINK THE ENTIRE THING OUT
OF THERE.
>> SO YOU HAVE AN EVENT.
I KNOW ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS --
YOU HAVE TO DRINK OUT OF THAT
MISS WINNER.
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS PEOPLE CAN
COME.
YOU DO A WINE SALE ON WEDNESDAY
NIGHT?
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
WE ONLY SELL BEER AND WINE.
IF YOU ONLY SELL BEER AND WINE,
YOU CAN HAVE A RETAIL SHOP IN
TEXAS.
ON WEDNESDAYS YOU CAN COME DOWN
AND DRINK RETAIL PRICING FOR ALL
OUR BOTTL WINE WHILE IN THE
RESTAURANT.
IT'S A GREAT CHANCE TO
EXPERIMENT AND GET AMAZING DEALS
ALL NIGHT LONG.
>> QUICKLY, BALLPARK, HOW MUCH
GREEK WINES RUN?
>> WE HAVE NOTHING -- OUR
OVERALL PRICE, NOTHING $$100.
RETAIL, NOTHING ABOUT 70.
LOTS OF THINGS IN THE TEENS,
20s.
MOST EVERYTHING IS 35 BUCKS AND
BELOW.
>> EVAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

FOOD AND WINE FOR YOURSELF.
