But what about Asirtiko Athiri?
Or Boutari Nemea?
Or Naussa Grande Reserva?
They would be the three Greek wines being poured tomorrow night at Shubie's in Marblehead.
And this would be the menu to go along with them:
Humus with pistachio oil
Dolmas with beef, pine nuts and currants, drizzled with fig syrup
Lavash with tuna tartare, olives, capers, pistachios and yogurt sauce
Falafel fried chicken with humus sauce
Fatoush salad with chopped vegetables and feta
Candied pecans
Unusual?
You bet.
That's why it's worth it.
