Wine note: The fresh lemon and fruity olive oil lend this dish bright Mediterranean flavor, which calls for a high-acid white wine. However, the aromatic spices deserve a wine that's equally exotic. Try Moschofilero Boutari 2005 ($15), a widely available Greek wine that's made from the Moschofilero (mo-sko-feel-er-o) grape. It has a bold fragrance of citrus, melon, white flowers, and spice along with a nice balance of sweetness and grapefruit flavors. -Jeffery Lindenmuth
