HI and thank you for your review. We are sorry that your experience was not good enough. Yes, Yanni the owner is not a good English speaker as he is in winemaking. This some time frustrate him a lot too especially if the lady of the Estate, Despina is away for family business. We are a very small winery and we do not have the luxury of extra staff. We have to do everything by ourselves and we are continually trying to improve the variety and quality of our offerings. We will be very happy to see you again! We wish you well!

Dear ncruiming First of all, thank you very much for visiting us and for sharing your experience here at Tripadvisor. We were very saddened by the fact that your experience was bad, according to the rating you gave us. It worried us a lot and made us want to see if and what we are doing wrong, in order to correct it and for this reason we read and answer all your concerns. As for the cheese that was already prepared you are right. Due to the fact that we have no staff serving our guests and the fact that the cheese is handmade from our own milk and its 100% fresh, we have to put it in the fridge. We do not know in advance how many guests we are going to welcome each day. Some days we have no guests at all and it would be a waste to through away all that precious hand made product. On the other hand we do not plan to have staff in the near future beacause we never saw our winery as "big" business. This is our home and we try to make a living with what we produce. As for the wine quality that was not your type of wine, we are sorry about this too. Usually we get the exact opposite reactions than yours, but we completly understand you. The only thing we can assure you is that we do the best we can to produce clean and bio wine the traditional way. This process sometimes is unpredictable about the outcome. The price tags.... we are not assamed that we are selling our handmade products to make a living and we try to do that in the best possible viable price and in an distinctive way . We are sorry and concerned that the prices seemed high to you. Each bottle is bottled by hand and the labels as well are put on the bottles one by one. There is no industrial support which means there is a lot of effort involved. We will strive harder in the future to keep our prices low. Let me kindly remind you that buying is optional. Your presence and your kind words during your visit has the same worth to us as if you were buying our products. As for the rush, you are right again. We are only 2 persons running our small winery and sometimes we get overwhelmed by visitors and friends and we are running around like crazy! We never thought that this might have a negative effect to our guests. We are trying to be as hospitable as we can with all of you. We are sorry we missed you that day. As for the owner not speaking English, is quite furstrating for him too. Beeing visited all day from foreigners makes him sometimes uncomfotable. Hence the embarrassment which sometimes is beeing interpreted as if he does not want to chat. That is not the case but we are sorry about this too. He probably did not understand that you actually wanted to admire his work... We really hope that you had a great time on our island and that this negative experience in our winery did not spoil your holidays... We hope to see you again sometime in the future! Yannis, Despina & Eviana (our little princess)
