Greek immigrant building Canberra wine and restaurant dream
John Praxoulis, Greek-born owner of Zorba's in Canberra, turned his passion for wine into a growing cellar and restaurant enterprise. He bought wines to pair with dishes, built a three tier cellar system, and planned family involvement while balancing work with fitness and home life. Born in Crete, he arrived in 1950, trained as a chef, and aims to expand with an American cousin managing the business side while he concentrates on food.
