Assyrtiko

Santorini's volcanic white — salt, citrus, mineral lift — designed for seafood, octopus, and Greek meze.

Cava

Interesting

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.

Bubbles cut through the olive oil and salt of Greek preparations.

Chardonnay

Interesting

White · Medium · Dry

Orvieto

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Umbria's classic white — blended for breezy, lemony drinkability with a touch of pear. The grocery-store version is fine; producer-bottled ones quietly improve any summer evening.

Why it works with Green Salad With Light Or Medium Dressings

A bright white like Orvieto is what Green Salad With Light Or Medium Dressings asks for: lift, lift, lift.

Pinot Blanc

Interesting

White · Medium · Dry

White · Light · Dry

Why it works with Traditional Greek Salad With Black Olives, Tomato, Feta With Light Vinegarette

Clean white that lets salad ingredients stay center stage.

Pinot Gris

Interesting

White · Medium · Off-dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Green Salad With Light Or Medium Dressings

Pinot Gris's body and acid balance Green Salad With Light Or Medium Dressings's flavor profile.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Traditional Greek Salad With Black Olives, Tomato, Feta With Light Vinegarette

Dry rosé is the Greek summer-table pour — works with everything from gyros to grilled vegetables.
