Home Builders The Greek adventurer herself: Malstrom looks toward the camera as she sips a Mediterranean Sunset cocktail at Hytra Restaurant and Bar in Athens.
wine and spirits establishment in Minnesota lakes country near Detroit Lakes, Malstrom had flown to Europe to participate in the planning of her uncle’s wedding to a Greek neurosurgeon. Although they had already hired an Athens event planner for the big day, Malstrom’s uncle and his fiance wanted Malstrom there to bounce ideas off of and to make sure every detail of the wedding felt perfect. And, as a sommelier, also known as a wine steward, Malstrom was the perfect choice for a taste tester. “My perception of Greek wine changed right after my very first taste. I was surprised by their whites and bubblies and fell in love with the crisp, light wines. The reds were a bit more serious,” Malstrom said. “And, with the fresh herbs you could find growing almost everywhere, you could taste hints of thyme or lavender, almost like the presence of more fresh herbs imparted itself into the wine.” Malstrom traveled from Athens to Mykonos with her uncle and uncle-to-be, taking in not only the wine but also the cuisine, culture and history of Greece. “The gyros were to die for,” said Malstrom, “but there wasn’t as much olive and feta featured as I expected. That’s apparently a more Americanized take on Mediterranean.” Desserts were also different from what Malstrom expected. Often with some kind of sour cherry jelly, the sweets were more often floral, acting as a palate cleanser rather than a filling course at the end of a meal. INSPIREDHOMEMAGAZINE.COM
