For my Greek friends, today we sing "έχει #Colares σαν μια καρδιά, να να να να". This is one of the most interesting wines I've tasted recently: It's a #Ramisco grape from Colares DOC Portugal, gul of lively fruit, and countless beautifully treated tannins (vintage 2008). Loved it! . . . #winelover #winesofportugal #wineporn #Cabodarocca #passionforwine #beef @vasovillegas
Greek summer, with 24 degrees and a lovely #Riesling . . . #winelover #passionforwine #oysters #greeksummer @grvrettos @vasso_kovani
Once more, Greek indigenous varieties show great potential: Vertical tasting of a lovely Goumenissa appellation label, mostly of #Xinomavro grape. Pleasant surprise the minimal intervention new labels from winery's new age winemaker! Great times! . . . #winelover #passionforwine #GreekWine #lovemyjob #winesofnorthgreece

A brief report about @concoursmondialdebruxelles 🍷 contest Facts: Largest wine competition of Europe, with 9.150 wines and 350 judges, all over the world Judging methodology: Quite reliable, as every sample is evaluated in all it’s aspects with 5 scales, all submitted through a tablet wirelessly Stats: In my jury, extreme differences where very rare among the 150 samples tasted (about 3%). One sample rejected (both samples faulty), three where re-tasted (corked), only two samples below 70/100 Premisses: Fantastic place to taste into (Olympic) UCI World Cycling Center of 🇨🇭Aigle Residence: At the famous winter ⛷ resort of Leysin (1.260 m alt). First time that snowed during the 26 year history of CMB contest! Fun index among Greek 🇬🇷 team: Grand Gold Medal!

Just got back home from UK after a very solid and informative session: Business and Commercial Knowledge Course by #WSET is aiming to provide all the financial, communication and branding skills to run a wine business in a viable way. . We also had a case study, that my team got the first place for it. Proud! . . . @wsetglobal @winestudies #winestories #wine #ilovemyjob #winelover
Tradition in national Greek day, demands tempura style fried cod. Delicious but fatty dish, finds it's perfect pair with a new style sparkling retsina (raisin flavored Wine). . . . . #wine #winelover #GreekWine #foodpic #wineaddict #greekgastronomy #retsina @kechris
