Malvasia (mălvəsē`ə) or Monemvasía (mô'nĕmväsē`ä), village, S Greece, in the Peloponnesus, on a rocky island joined to the mainland by a mole. In the Middle Ages it was a fortress and an important commercial port, exporting Malvasian or malmsey wine, a type now made in many places. It was (1821) the seat of the first Greek national assembly. How to thank TFD for its existence?

My cool pad was off Second Street and a short walk from restaurant row where places like the Shore House Cafe, Panama Joe's and Malvasia were regular haunts, the beach was a mere two blocks away and there was no better place to read the Sunday paper and sip something hot than The Library coffeehouse on Broadway. Malvasia (1616-1693) was a Bolognese lawyer and man of letters, who carefully researched the lives of these artists, collecting and publishing primary sources and gathering anecdotal information from eyewitnesses, weaving these into rivetingly detailed biographical narratives. Varietals planted at Pope Creek include chardonnay, viognier, malvasia bianca, and french columbard. |
