White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient are great choices for Gyros. 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 Momo Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Momo Sauvignon Blanc

Displays a complex nose with aromas of tropical fruit, herbaceous notes and a hint of cassis. The natural fermentation adds a rich and textural quality to the palate, with subtle notes of lemon zest and passion fruit. The finish is crisp and dry. Delicious with all types of seafood and summer salads, or enjoy by itself as a refreshing aperitif.
