Wine with Food

Last week we went to a wonderful evening of food and wine at Aleria restaurant in Athens.
The wines from the Evharis estate were matched with a four course dinner.
 The food and wine were wonderful

The first course was grilled squid on a bed of raw cauliflower and fennel served with a very delicately curried sauce of pureed apple, matched with a glass of Assyrtiko.
Next came grilled fish on a bed of beetroot this was match Syrah blanc de Noir.
The meat course was beautiful belly pork served with aglass of Evharis Syrah, red 2007
The dessert course was another triumph, mandarin sorbet served with halva, served with a glass of Epilogue, a dessert wine made from botrytus effected Roditis and Sauvignon Blanc. this sweety is very unusual for Greece , and is packed full of tropical fruit flavours , absolutely world class!!!

we off to Aleria this week for another wine and food evening where the wines of Pavlides will be showcased, I can't wait
All this gorgeous food and wine for 35 euros per person , great value
