‘Geneva-based Nico Manessis has been spreading the gospel of fine Greek wine for years now with near incredible persistence’ - Jancis Robinson

‘ I thought that Greek wine was an easy learn, but Nico has shown me that it is far more complex and I have had to work harder to keep up. Nico has constantly and consistently kept me informed about what is going on, who are the underperformers, who are at the top of their game, and who are the new kids on the block. It is far more exciting than I ever imagined since I first visited Greek vineyards in the early 1980’s. The Greek wine industry should be very grateful to Nico Manessis for getting the word out to the rest of the world.’ - Tom Stevenson

‘ I have been told that there should be a statue of me in the Napa Valley for having put California wines on the map back in 1976 at what became known as the The Judgement of Paris. Nico Manessis has done one hundred times more for Greek wine, and there should be plaque of recognition, perhaps even a name of a street or a square, in every vineyard region of the country.’ - Steven Spurrier

‘ Bravo.‘  - Andrew Jefford on, The Illustrated Greek Wine Book (2001)

‘ The new Illustrated Greek Wine Book will, no doubt, be an enormous help. It paints a fascinating, lively picture of the wines and how they are made. In my friend Nico Manessis, a native of Greece, a great traveller and a citizen of the world, today’s Greek wine industry has found its Hermes, bearer of Dionysos’ good news.‘ - Aubert de Villaine

‘ A tour de force’ - Michael Broadbent, on The Greek Wine Guide (1996)
