Recommended wine: Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, Moschofilero

Greek on the menu? Try pairing with Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, and Moschofilero. 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 Skouras Saint George Agiorgitiko with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

Skouras Saint George Agiorgitiko

Ripe raspberry and damson plum fruit commingle on the palate with hints of vanilla and nutmeg.This crowd-pleaser is a great match for roasted pork. Please serve with a slight chill.
