Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, and Moschofilero are great choices 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. You could try Skouras Saint George Agiorgitiko. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 18 dollars per bottle.
