A shame really . Your daughter's blog is great as are the photos. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It is I who should thank you for coming to my country and not just "doing the ancient ruins" but seeing another and constantly improving side of Greece. Have a great Summer!

I also used the Wine Roads of Northern Greece website which I thought was helpful and informative, but was missing some wineries (ie dalamaras, Thimiopoulos). I will be having some people over for some wine tasting at my house later next month and will be introducing people to Xinomavro to help "expand the palate" of my friends. Thanks again. I have also updated my daughters travel blog at www.mytb.org/throughmyeyes to include the section on Naoussa.

I cannot do with zero Internet access, but will limit it, I promise. My lot is already in full holiday mood, we are here with extended family and friends. Lots of swimming, freshly prepared food, siestas, reading and of course wine - you would love this! Viviane, thank you so much for your wishes.

Brings back memories of how on our drives to Greece by car from the UK, when I was a kid my dad would make a detour to go through parts of Burgundy (I still remember staying at a lovely chateau and then visiting Moulin A Vent for some wine tasting). Michael Holzer puts us winelovers who live here to shame by organising a wine tour as part of a whirlwind visit to Greece and South Africa. If I was EOT and/or the Wine Roads of Northern Greece I would jump on this story... What a great story and a fantastically heartwarming blog too!

When we asked about Mavrotragano (we especially liked that of Hatzidakis) we were told that due to the low yield, there aren't many of these distributed outside Greece. Are any of the reds distributed in the U.S.? And if so, we do we find them? We just returned from Santorini where we visited many of its wineries.

The Facebook application is a great tool for wineries and I am not at all surprised that you receive positive feedback. In Greece, many wineries still lack behind when it comes to online presence, many do not yet have a fanpage. I hope that the adoption of your application by Nostos will foster further interest. A Greek translation would certainly help, let me know if I can be of any assistance. James, thank you very much for commenting.
