Editor & Founder — The Wine Lovers Greece

I founded The Wine Lovers Greece to give Greek wine the editorial coverage it deserves — and built this English edition to make that work accessible to an international audience of sommeliers, hospitality professionals, and food & wine travellers.

What I write about

Indigenous Greek varieties (Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, Agiorgitiko, Moschofilero and many more), PDO and PGI regions, producer profiles, food and wine pairings, and the broader cultural context of Greek wine. The goal is rigour without dryness — long-form pieces that are precise, well-sourced, and pleasant to read.

Editorial standard

Every article is reviewed against authoritative sources before publication: Wines of Greece, the EU PDO/PGI register, individual producer publications, and the major wine literature including Jancis Robinson MW, Karen MacNeil, Konstantinos Lazarakis MW, and Decanter. Where facts cannot be verified, they are not stated.
