Recommended wine: White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, Ingredient, Food Product Category, Wine, Dry White Wine, Red Wine, Drink, Menu Item Type, Moschofilero, Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko

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. One wine you could try is Honig Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Rutherford. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 33 dollars.
