Recommended wine: Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, Moschofilero

Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, and Moschofilero are my top picks for Greek. 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. One wine you could try is Skouras Saint George Agiorgitiko. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.
