Greek Meatballs and Toasted Orzo
I have been a huge fan of Greek wines and as they say, "What grows together, goes together!" So what would be better than a Greek wine to pair with these Greek meatballs? Greece is known for its crisp, “minerally” white wines, which pair seamlessly with their abundant seafood, but they also make some really exciting red wines, such as the tricky to pronounce, yet delicious to drink Aghiorghitiko and the dry earthy Xinomavro. To pair with this dish, I'd try out one of my favorite Aghiorghitikos, the Domaine Skouras "St. George" Nemea for about $15. It's fuller bodied and dark with sweet black fruit and baking spices, all flavors that really complement Rachael's meatballs.
