		<title>Limnio Kikones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time to debunk another, very modern Greek myth. In fact, this is one of the most annoying bits of disinformation in circulation: &#8220;Limnio was Aristotle&#8217;s favourite wine.&#8221; Wow, thinks the unsuspecting gullible punter. It was a handy sound bite for scores of journos discovering Greek wine in the late 1990s. It was repeated ad nauseam. [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011: road stories on a pretty vintage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nico Manessis An action-packed agenda for the autumn update. Much of it involved visiting top-performing addresses, or emerging talent in lesser-known, up and coming regions. Weather Prolonged spring rain brought downy mildew in places. Summer temperatures were steady, with no jarring extremes. Yields were down, which helped overall quality. In spite of a flat market [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yannis Argyros – An appreciation by Nico Manessis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A leading figure of Santorinian wine died December 12, 2011. He was 64. Argyros was the antithesis of the ego-driven winemaker. Man of few words, modest. Not easy to get much out of him, either. Disciplined and hard-working. He let his wines do the talking. His grandfather founded Canava Argyros in 1903. When Yannis took [...]]]></description>

		<title>Areti Biblia Chora</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Agiorgitiko is new to northern Greece: all of 12 years. Having in situ tasted current and forthcoming releases, the future looks bright. The cherry core present in Nemea is still there, enveloped by a tauter, less Mediterranean generosity. As seen in this review, it is capable to stand its ground as a varietal. However, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Domaine Karanika Cuvée Speciale Brut</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frankly, I never thought I would be writing these lines. In essence, this post has been in waiting for 17 years. What’s it all about:  The missing link in today&#8217;s Greek wine has arrived.  I cannot wait to share my enthusiasm on this new entry. In all of the fragmented Greek vineyard, it is landlocked [...]]]></description>

		<title>Agiorgitiko The Wise Owl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This joint venture underlines the open-minded attitude of Nemea-based I Sofia tis Fisis (Nature’s Wisdom) and the forward thinking of the Katogi-Strofilia wineries. It all started after a casual roadside meeting between Nikos Bouzinelos and veteran Achilleas Lampsidis. As Sofia tis Fisis make Greek varietal and herb-infused vinegar, petimezi (grape syrup), and other grape-based products, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Santorini Brewing Company crazy donkey 5.5% ABV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my summer highlights was rediscovering Sake as wine. My Japanese friend and I bartered Sake for wine made from indigenous grapes. Now, what has this got in common with fresh beer in these pages? Surprisingly, quite a lot, even a terroir connection. SBC&#8217;s ambitious new venture was founded by a clutch of cosmopolitan [...]]]></description>

		<title>Melías Domaine Papagiannakos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Within eye distance of Athens International Airport one sees thousands of acres in vine. This is, par excellence, white wine country, planted to the Savatiano grape. More recently, the aromatic Malagousia grape has also been grown in this &#8221;sea&#8221; of Savatiano vineyards. Hailing from north-western Central Greece, this fashionable aromatic grape seems to have adapted [...]]]></description>
