Here are two interesting pieces that Peter Minakis included in his "Greek Food Gazette" this week.
Jameson Fink for Foodista talks to Yiannis Paraskevopoulos of
Gaia Wines on the importance of Greek wines maintaining their identity and tradition while making the most of modern innovations.

And Naoussa wines hit it big in...China? Loved to see that it was Yannis Tselepos Moschofilero that earned Greek wines the nod of approval from Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, who tried the wine on his last official visit to Greece. Some nods are worth more than others...apparently Tselepos has since shipped 45,000 bottles of Moschofilero to Asia. Gong Xi, Gong Xi!

Greek wines are getting slowly but steady the recognition that they deserve. Lately there are many awards gained by Greek wines in international events (e.g. Berlin, Hong Kong).
