Domaine Sigalas 2010 Assyrtico (Santorini)

Enthusiast 100 2011

Sigalas sets the bar high for Assyrtiko as usual. This 2010 is a balance of rounded citrus, crisp sea salt and sparkling minerality. Delicious with grilled fish, fruit or alone on a hot day, this is an elegant gem of a white that represents some of the best of Greek wine offered today. — S.K. (9/1/2011)

Flavorful and balanced, this refreshing white offers lemon and orange on the nose and palate, lifted by a salty spin. Great acid and fruit combination with a crisp, spirited finish. A delicious, versatile wine that is best with grilled fish and poultry. — S.K. (9/1/2011)

Gentilini 2008 Robola (Cephalonia)

Price $18

This wine showcases the native Greek variety Robola beautifully, with its crisp, clean citrus aromas and flavors and minerally/sea salt spin. The wine has a fresh quality but offers layers of lemon and orange. The finish is like a spray of the sea on the palate. Pair with seafood and light salads. — S.K. (4/1/2010)
