A bittersweet farewell to August and the summer filled with gratitude, joy and anticipation for the next four months of the year.

Do you also treat the 1st September as a little New Year re-center and restart?

Kinda chic to wonder how Xinomavro from Amyndeon tastes like in the form of traditional method Brut Blanc des Noirs after 6 months of fermentation and 48 months in the bottle as an hommage to Stellios Boutaris great-grandfather, Spyridon Scaperdas.

The answer is absolutely wonderful!

Summer solstice full of light, joy and Après Rosé at a birthday garden party!

It really surprised everyone with its lively personality and gorgeous Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah style! Gorgeous body and long finish - no wonder the guests kept going back to it!

Thank you Katie , what a treat!

“Your table has been so busy all day, I had to wait all the way to the end to take a picture of both of you!” said the photographer **e_media_association as we had started to pack up our samples!

Last year, Alexandra Anthidou, Director of W**emakers of North Greece, flew to London to show together the fascinating plethora of grapes, colours, styles and sweetness levels of rosé expressions from Northern Greece!

Escape to the English countryside in West Berkshire to experience the fantastic vineyard tour and tasting session of All Angels!

📜 Immerse yourself in one of England’s most characterful small vineyards surrounded by this ancient woodland. You will see the 12th century parish church of St Michael and All Angels that still stands on the estate boundary.

🔝Quality: For those in the know, All Angels needs no further introduction as they consistently win top awards for their excellent quality! Oz Clarke named their Classic Cuvée 2014 Long Aged in his Top 3 at the London W**e Fair.

🌿 The Tour is a proper experience. Stroll through the south-facing vines, hear the full story of ancient Church Farm from the wonderfully passionate owners Mark and Christine Darley, and finish with a tutored tasting of their delicious vintage-only w**es.

The Darleys are the kind of owners who make you feel like a guest in their home!

✨ Top Tip: Make sure to download the UK Vineyard Guide app to plan all your upcoming visits and explore the UK’s vinous heritage!

Today started as a normal Saturday morning. You see I was not expecting to read the news that my first Vinocial producer, Paros Farming Community, was featured in Jancis Robinson MW article “It’s all Greek for me” in the Financial Times Magazine, in front of the milk aisle. A few customers had to ask me to go on the side because I stood still looking at my phone blocking their way to their milk needs.

I immediately called Dimitris Mansolas, Master Vigneron of Paros Farming Community, who is also the half of Hetero W**es along with Maria Tamiolaki. He didn’t pick up. I had to change the aisle at least.

I then run to the newspaper section, as I needed to make sure that what I read online is actually printed.

I needed to pick a physical copy and see the words “ Paris Farming Community, Seiradi Mandilaria 2025 PGI Cyclades (12.4%) 2024 is £18 WoodWinters” printed with real ink!

Finally, Dimitris calls back! I congratulate him, we cheer! Goosebumps!

Established in 1929 as the Paros Cooperative and reborn in 2021 as Paros Farming Community makes “W**es for Curious Minds”. They make 8 labels with just the two indigenous, organically grown, grapes of the island; Monemvassia and Mandilaria. And today THE Jancis Robinson MW picked one of them for her Financial Times Magazine article. My Paros Paradox listed under Greek Legends!

What a monumental day!

Thank you ever so much Jancis for all your love and support for Greek w**e!

Congratulations Dimitris and Paris Farming Community Team!
