Recommended wine: Moschofilero, Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko

Spanakopitan on the menu? Try pairing with Moschofilero, Assyrtiko, and Agiorgitiko. If you feel like going Greek with your Greek food, assyrtiko and moschofilero are both lovely white wines to pair with chicken, seafood, etc. Agiorgitiko is a full bodied red suitable for roasted meats and lamb. The Troupis Winery Moschofilero Fteri with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
