50 Great Greek Wines: Athens Sept 9-12

This idea of 50 Great Greek Wines (50GGW) slowly 'fermented' in my mind and was the reasonable evolution of my involvement with Greek wines. I have come to know many Greek producers over the years, and whilst talking to them and tasting their wines, I slowly began to share their concerns. What could help Greek wine gain recognition and a market share outside Greece? That is, how could Greek wine become more identifiable and diverge from being placed in the generic category of "The Others"?

That's the main reason I started karakasis.mw. To strengthen the voice of Greek producers in the world of wine. My articles are inspired by the authentic stories of people who want to stand out with their wines. I often felt like I was bringing treasures to the surface that the whole world absolutely had to share in. My joy grew even bigger with every new discovery, with every new effort by an 'unknown' producer who laid his soul in the vine and cellar.
