Recommended wine: White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, Ingredient, Food Product Category, Wine, Dry White Wine, Red Wine, Drink, Menu Item Type, Moschofilero, Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko

White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient are my top picks for Tzatziki. 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.

Tom Eddy Tenz-Sauvignon Blanc

Hints of classic Marlborough Sauvignon herbal qualities complement other complex characteristics of grapefruit, white pear, green grass, and gooseberry. The wine's intense aromatics are reinforced on the palate with a subtle minerality and mouth-watering acidity. The concentrated finish is crisp, clean and long-lasting. The wine's tasting profile matches perfectly with a variety of foods (like fresh oysters!) but is easily enjoyed by itself on a hot summer day. Cheers!
