Thessaloniki. Wine and banqueting utensils aplenty in Thessaloniki Archelogical Museum, and the Tombs of Aigai Museum. Tried Xinomavro for the first time as a red, and as a blended white. Fav has been the Malagoussia white. Almost extinct in the 70's. Nice balance of fruit and acidity. #winesky

Sad story of great wine region near Bonn. Still producing great wines but seems times still tough for people living in the Ahr.
The German valley that was swept away: ‘The cemeteries gave up their dead’
When the Ahr River burst its banks in 2021, 188 people died and whole villages and towns were destroyed. Could it all happen again?
