Recommended wine: Moschofilero, Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko

Greek 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.

Troupis Winery Moschofilero Fteri

An intensely fragrant wine combining the bouquet of night blooming jasmine, pomegranate and citrus fruits.Its excellent aroma and sharp taste make it a wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif as well as an accompaniment to dishes such as pasta with basil, chicken a la creme, grilled prawns and pies.
