Greek Salad on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Moschofilero. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. You could try Vie di Romans Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 36 dollars per bottle.
