S4: Bonus - Angelo the Ouzo King! (Athens, Greece)
Angelo is the Ouzo King! I stopped by his shop (The Greek Shop) and got quite an education on the ouzo culture in Greece. Ouzo is the National Drink of Greece, and Angelo explains to me the proper and customary way to drink it.
His ouzo comes from the islands of Chios, Lesbos, and Samos - and also north and middle Greece. All his flavors are in the 40% to 45% proof range.
I loved drinking it chilled, and sampled an ouzo from Northern Greece that I ended up purchasing. This anise-flavored liquor consists of pure ethyl alcohol and made from grape or grain, and distilled with aniseed.
