Greek Chef George Kringas

admin — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 03:22:27 +0000

George Kringas is a Partner and serves as the Executive Chef of Niko’s Greek Taverna. He originally learned how to cook from “Momma” Voula who also works at the restaurant, and recently graduated from the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan.

He writes regularly on his personal blog, GreekCulinary.com and truly loves food.

George has always been creative and before cooking had a prosperous career as a graphic artist. He even designed and created the Niko’s Taverna logo and all the graphics that you see on the take out and dine in menus.

Here is what MH Reed of the NY Times said of George Kringas’ cooking…

“Two appetizers were outstanding. The octopus came as two huge, tender tentacles, dark under a glaze of balsamic vinegar; equally sensational was fresh Macedonian lamb sausage (loukaniko), complex yet mild.”

Of the lamb dishes… “Under a sweep of oregano-scented olive oil, three juicy, perfectly timed chops could not have been more delectable, and the huge braised lamb shank was fork-tender and nicely partnered with garlic potatoes and delicious green beans.”

His passion for food shows as he works tirelessly every day to create new recipes and concoct new combinations of food never before tasted. Take one bite and you will know that you are in the presence of a true Culinary Talent.

George Kringas is married to Danielle and lives in White Plains, New York.

Tsantali Nemea Reserve

admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:40:28 +0000

Location: Nemea, the most renowned wine region of Peloponnese, Southern Greece
Soil: Limestone
Climate: The climate is typical Mediterranean, with mild winters, light rain and hot summers with ample sunshine
Varietal composition: Agiorgitiko, Saint George Grape
Classification: Nemea Protected Designation of Origin
Vinification techniques: The classic vinification for red wines, the grape skins remain with the must for 5 days at controlled temperature.
Ageing: At least three years in oak and in bottles.
Character: A ruby red wine with a rich body, soft tannins and the characteristic red fruit aromas of the variety (cherry, plum, fruits of the forest) and cloves.
Serving suggestions: Its soft and full taste make it an ideal accompaniment to fillet steak. It also harmoniously complements sweet-tasting or sweet & sour dishes, such as stuffed turkey and veal in tomato sauce. It works well with all kinds of pasta, especially in white sauces. Also delicious with a selection of cheeses, such as Kasseri, Graviera, Regatto and Parmesan – or Niko’s Saganaki Flaming Cheese Appetizer.
