Domaine Sigalas 2010 Assyrtico (Santorini)
- $24
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.

This is exactly what a good Greek white should be…fresh, balanced, food-friendly. On the nose, the wine offers citrus and tropical fruit. Delicate, clean flavors of lemon, orange and slate dance on the palate. Pair this with some freshly grilled fish or a Mediterranean salad.

My Big Fat Greek Wine 2010 Assyrtico (Santorini)

Lively aromas of lemon, grapefruit and melon start this white from Greece. Flavors of grapefruit and lemon rind are fresh and crisp but still offer dimension. The finish is spicy and clean. A great food wine: pair with grilled fish or clams.

Boutari 2008 Assyrtico (Santorini)
- $20
A zippy nose of apple and citrus and a spin of pepper start this fresh but elegant white from Santorini. On the palate, refreshing but subtle apple and citrus flavors are carried on a spicy backbone, but there’s creaminess to the mouthfeel, too. A unique and versatile food wine.
