Giannis Tasikas

My journey in the world of wine began 25 years ago, with a single glass.
As I closed my eyes and inhaled its aromas, I was instantly transported back to my childhood.

To the summers when I ran freely through my grandmother’s garden, beside the vineyards and among the almond trees. To the scent of wet earth after a summer rainstorm, the magical smells drifting from her kitchen, and the cedar trees warmed by the blazing summer sun.

So come along with us on a journey of senses, flavors, and memories—beginning with the aromas of native Greek herbs and continuing with traditional dishes that have stood the test of time. Each one is paired with hand-selected wines from small producers across every corner of Greece.

Stuffed dumplings

The tradition of stuffing leaves dates back to ancient Greece, where fig leaves were filled with sweetened cheese, a dish known as "thria." The modern iteration of dolmadakia has been influenced by various cultures, notably during the Ottoman period, reflecting a blend of culinary traditions. The name "dolma" itself is derived from the Turkish word "dolmak," meaning "to fill."

Sea food kritharoto

A similar culinary creation to risotto known as "kritharoto." This dish features orzo pasta—called "kritharaki" in Greek—prepared in a manner akin to risotto. Kritharoto often incorporates seafood, combining orzo with ingredients like shrimp, mussels, and squid, all simmered together to create a creamy, flavorful dish.

Traditional Greek Moussaka

The modern version of moussaka, particularly the inclusion of the béchamel topping, is attributed to the Greek chef Nikolaos Tselementes in the 1920s. Before this innovation, the dish consisted mainly of layers of fried aubergine topped with meat and tomato sauce, sometimes finished with cheese. ​

Bourdeto

Bourdeto is a traditional fish dish from Corfu, Greece, renowned for its spicy and flavorful profile. The name "bourdeto" is derived from the Venetian word "brodeto," meaning broth, reflecting the island's historical Venetian influence.
