Vinismo is written by its readers -- Internet users like you -- and we need your help! Try our getting started guide to learn how.
My name is Evan Prodromou, and along with Niko I'm one of the two founders of Vinismo. It's the second major wiki I've started; in 2003 I founded the excellent Wikitravel, an Open Content travel guide.
I do most of the programming and system administration for Vinismo, so feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you find a bug or think of a way to make this site better. I'm really open to suggestions.
I'm not a wine expert by a long shot, but I love the mysteries of wine appreciation. I find the complex and intricate world of wine fascinating, and I'm glad that I have the opportunity to learn more about the art and science of wine.
I'm originally from San Francisco but I moved to Montreal in 2002. I live in a nice house in the Plateau with my wife, Maj, and our 2-year-old daughter, Amita June. Among other pursuits, I love to travel, program computers, and dance to electronic music.
As for wine: I'm fond of versatile, medium-bodied reds and light-bodied whites. The wines that I find the most interesting, in no particular order:
- Wines of Greece and Portugal. I think these are two countries that are ready to blow up the world wine scene, and I think that intrepid explorers can find excellent wines from these countries for really reasonable prices.
- Wines of Argentina. I'm travelling to Buenos Aires this spring, so I'm looking forward to learning more about this high-production country with a longtime wine tradition.
- Cava.
- Rieslings from Alsace and Germany.
- Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.
