Significant was the 50 GGW’s presence at the world-famous gastronomy exhibition Taormina Gourmet in the homonymous, beautiful city of Sicily, where a masterclass was held with white wines- winners from the second edition of 50 GGW. Yiannis Karakassis MW presented 7 Assyrtikos from Santorini, Tinos and Peloponnese and 2 Cretan wines from Vidiano and Thrapsathiri.

This year’s warm audience included wine professionals, Sarah Abbott MW (founder of Old Vine Conference), MW students, journalists and wine buyers. “The passion for Greek wine shows wherever I am. From Santorini and Vedema to Sicily and Taormina, we keep seeing enthusiastic people who seem to have, in their minds, linked Greek wine with Greatness and, diversity, uniqueness. We must build  its reputation from side to side with solid foundations, something we are working on constantly.” Yiannis Karakasis MW, 50 GGW founder, stated.
