    I visited Gentilini winery in Kefalonia and it was amazing!

    Gentilini is a really small family winery on the island that has a great selection of wines. I went on the tour and was able to see where all of the wines were made. Tours start in Easter and end in October, highly recommend to anyone visiting Kefalonia during those months.

    What is your favorite Greek American dish?

    Hmmm that sounds good, like something I would make at LOL. I usually make "Americanized" Greek food at home when I don't have a lot of time. One of my favorite quick recipes is pasta salad with feta, olives, onions and tomatoes. Anything with feta and some tomatoes on top can me "Greekified"

    You can only make Greek coffee using a briki!

    This type of coffee is way healthier than the coffee used in Frappe which is super processed. We need to go back to our roots to be healthy!! This is the medicine of our people :)
