First tasted this wine at an event hosted by Wines of Greece in Manhattan where I got to sample over 40 fine Greek wines.  Lucky for me, the

'07 Boutari Moschofilero

2007 Boutari Moschofilero is pretty widely available in my neck of the woods in New Jersey, so I get to enjoy it often.

Think of this wine as a Pinot Grigio / Sauvignon Blanc but with tons of body and flavor.  It’s light enough to be enjoyed all Summer long, but offers enough body and richness to pair with spicy foods during the cooler months.  I find lots of juicy lemons with ripe honeyed melons and floral undertones with some nice acidity.

At a recent dinner party, I paired it with grilled octopus and Greek yogurt-marinated chicken kabobs and it was super.

At around $15 a bottle, this Greek wine from the Peloponnesos region is a great buy and value.
