I have tried several Greek wine, both red and white. They are not very refined like California, French, Argentine, or Chile.

@FishEaster Have you tried any artisan, handcrafted indigenous varietals (Limnio, Xinomavro)? I think they have a lot of potential. However, the best wine is the one you like the most.

Hi Constantinescu!

I love your videos, much more interesting that a lot of other ones, please go on (at least do it for me.. haha)... I'd like to hear your comment, as an argentine,about one of our wines, by preference from Cafayate.

I be wainting!

[hconstantinescu]

Gracias por el comentario. Lo que pasa es que no tengo nada de vino de Cafayate es dificil a encontrar aqui en los Estados Unidos,entonses voy a experimentar algo de Mendoza (un Torrontes or un Malbec)en el futuro. Me gustaria una Quilmes. Creo que es la mejor cerveza del mundo :). Mucha suerte! (me puedes llamar Harry)

[mennaiah]

Mendoza esta bien!,

cuando alguien viaje para USA cerca de donde vives te mando algo de Cafayate. Te gusta Quilmes?!!?? una pregunta... cuando fue la ultima vez que bebiste una?

[hconstantinescu]

Che, hace quatro anos que no me tomo una Quilmes, desde quando me fuy de Portugal (vivia alla). Todavia tengo el mate :). Hoy encontre una Susana Balbo-Torrontes de Cafayate. Capaz que voy a hacer una comparacion entre el torrontes de Cafayate y el de Mendoza. Que te parece?

I am reproducing Assirtiko grapes in the North of Cordoba Argentina.Maybe in a few years I will be producing wine from this grape.Then I would like you to compare and mark the differences.We did not have an eruption or a Tsunami around here but so far the vineyard seems to like the way our soil tastes.Good luck!
