We don’t get much Greek wine this far in the middle of the country, which is a shame. Most Greek wine that I have sampled is well-made, inexpensive and very food friendly.
This Boutari is no exception. It’s a light, low alcohol wine that is more fruity (think melons) than sweet. The grape variety, by the way, is moschofilero – important in Greece and almost nowhere else in the world. Serve it chilled for sipping at holiday gatherings, with salads, or to accompany a Mediterranean spread with dishes like hummus, tabouleh, pita bread, olives, yogurt cheese, and tzatziki. (Available, according to the importer, at World Market, Central Market, and Whole Foods.)
