Ouzo has its own way to be enjoyed with ouzomezedakia (appetizers served in small dishes). The rules that follow, without being binding, are a part of what in Greece we call the “The ritual of Ouzo”.
1st Rule: Face to face. Because, the time for Ouzo, is not just time for food. It’s about spending time with company.
2nd Rule: Opposites attract. The flavours accompanying Ouzo are contrasting and aggressive. Sour with salty, sweet with bitter, spicy with refreshing, with Ouzo always dominating.
3rd Rule: One for all and all for one. One meze from each type is enough. Meze is just to stimulate the taste buds and not to make our stomachs full.
4th Rule: With water or ice cubes, which gives Ouzo the right temperature, while with the addition of some water it gains the characteristic cloudiness that we all love.
5th Rule: Simplicity is essential. The appetizers should be small and able to be replenished quickly, in order for them to be discernible on the plate and offered more easily! However, above all, there is only one rule: improvise spontaneously..

I have personally selected the wines on this list as a representation of what I regard as the best Greece has to offer. They match perfectly with our style of food.
Greek winemakers approach wines with the idea that they are to be enjoyed and consumed with food. Their style is generally subtle, earthy and natural in palate. The nuances of the indigenous grapes begin to shine with some of the interesting flavours you will experience with our food.
Please don’t hesitate to ask for a taste of any of the above wines if you are only beginning to explore Greek wine. We would be more than happy to open a bottle for you to sample and join us on a journey to experience Greek wines.
I would also like to thank the Ipermachos family from Miloway Wines, David Lamb from Art and Vine Wines, Douglas Lamb Wines, Andrew Cameron from Dejavu Wines. Their support and commitment to importing great Greek wines has opened a new understanding of the burgeoning resurrection of the Greek wine industry.
