Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Chicken Souvlaki

Light red that flatters chicken without overwhelming it — the all-purpose poultry pairing.

Riesling

Classic

White · Light · Off-dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with Chicken/pork Souvlaki

Off-dry Riesling is the pork wine — stone fruit and acid with the meat's natural sweetness.

Red · Medium · Dry

Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.

Why it works with Souvlaki Greek Chicken Skewers

White=pinot Grigio Red=merlot gives Souvlaki Greek Chicken Skewers a structured partner — fruit and tannin without aggression.
