Does anyone have a recipe for Retsina and thank you in advance. *


From my one and only, many years ago, tasting of Retsina, I figure you
could use a blend of turpentine and vodka, diluted with distilled
water to reach the appropriate alcohol level.
Obviously, that's just my opinion as I've been led to believe that
many people actually enjoy the stuff.


Ross.


That turpentine makes me wonder if it mite be injurious to your
health?


According to Wikipedia, i guess it can be:

"Another anecdote claims that an excess of undiluted retsina was
lethal for King Eric I of Denmark and Sigurd I of Norway.[2]"
