3. Villa Del Greco-Mykonos Island, Greece

Villa del Greco is situated on the magical island of Mykonos, located in the center of the Cyclades Islands. With panoramic views, it is surrounded by the warm, blue, Aegean Sea offering a unique experience for the most discriminating. The town of Mykonos, with its “jet set” atmosphere, offers a multitude of international five star restaurants as well as the traditional, colorful Greek taverns.  Mykonos has perhaps the finest shopping in all of the Mediterranean, offering designer clothes from Italy, France, central Europe, and ancient Greek 18 & 22 carat gold jewelry. 

Mykonos will charm you with narrow winding streets, windmills, and unique white architecture as seen in travel magazines and film.  The world class beaches of Mykonos are unparalleled in the Mediterranean. This is a five night stay you will never forget.

The three bedroom, three and a half bath villa on four hectares of land, was recently built to replicate an old "horio" (farmhouse) and has been designated by local architects as "the standard for villa design in Mykonos".  A wrap-around veranda overlooks the island and sea from its hilltop perch.  Bedrooms and baths are uniquely designed in the very old way incorporating nooks of white washed and hand mixed adobe, brick and stone from the ancient walls that form the boundaries of the property.  The kitchen is a country design with modern appliances and a center workstation, but the dining room is reminiscent of an abbey, seating ten at its hand hewn monastery table. 

 

The entertainment rooms on the lower level are beautifully articulated to include a hand-carved bar with an ancient stone back-drop, flagstone floors that open out to a large continuous patio with panoramic island views and a separate bedroom and bath suite designed for further privacy.  Included is satellite television, with American, European and Chinese channels, available. 


Villa del Greco started as a dream and became our treasure, we welcome you.  "Yasou, Yamas"!

Wine and Spirits

 

800     2005 Chateau Lynch Bages Grand Cru Classe    

"This dense inky/purple-hued, elegant Lynch Bages possesses copious quantities of creme de cassis, licorice, smoke, and minerals.  With good precision, lively acidity, wonderful purity, and elegance. The 2005 will require 3-5 years of cellaring, and should evolve for 20-25 years.  Rated 91-93 by Robert Parker.

Donated by: Ms. Janet Sharp                                                         

 

801     1992 Groth Napa Valley Cabernet Savignon      

" A mix of flavors stretching from ripe currant to herb, coffee grinds, earth and tobacco.  Smooth textured, with excellent depth and enough concentration and complexity to merit further cellaring.  Ready to drink now! "  Rated 93 by Wine Spectator.

Donated by: The Martone-Levine Family                                               

 

802     A Perfect Finish

Donated by: Mr. & Mrs. William Colby                                            

 

803     1998 Hengst Gewurztraminer - Grand Cru        

"The magnificent, rose and lychee-scented 1998 Gewurztraminer Hengst is full-bodied and oily textured.  Thick, yet fresh, detailed, and polished, it is packed with lychee nuts.  The wine's high level of alcohol slightly shows through the dense fruit, but its extroverted, focused, and fruit-dominated personality more that makes up for it.  Projected maturity: 2002-2012”.  Rated 94 by Wine Advocate

Donated by: Friends of Windrush   

 

804     2005 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon    

The 2005 offers lush aromas of ripe blackberries and cherries, with subtle spice and chocolate notes.  Smooth tannins envelope the fruity flavors, while toasty vanilla oak nuances linger on the finish.

Donated by: Ms. Janet Sharp         

 

805     2005 Irony Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Donated by: M.S.Walker                                                               

 

806     Hayman & Hill Cabernet Sauvignon        

"This wine abounds with ripe cassis and blackberry aromas and hints of spice and black olives.  The palate has fine grain tannins with a soft mid palate and lingering finish".  Rated 92 by Robert Parker

809     2007 Ca'Montini Pinot Grigio       

"A wonderfully complex nose, filled with honeydew and candied apple, with hints of perfume and minerals reminiscent of an Alsatian Pinot Gris.  The tart citrus flavors one comes to expect in Pinot Grigio are there, but are tempered by a slight buttery richness which lingers in the mouth.  This is a wine that stands out from the mass-produced Pinot Grigios found on supermarket shelves.” Rated 89 by Vine & Table

Donated by: M.S.Walker                

     

810     2004 Piccini Sasso al Poggio        

"Very jammy for the vintage, with plum and raspberry character.  Full and very soft, with round tannins and a long caressing finish.  Best after 2009.”  Rated 90 by Wine Spectator
