I’ve recently discovered that I actually enjoy the unique flavor of Retsina wine—it’s definitely an acquired taste, but there’s something about the piney aroma that I really like. However, I’ve heard it can be tricky to pair with food, so I’m hoping to get some advice from those of you who are more experienced with it.
What dishes or snacks do you think work well with Retsina? I’m guessing traditional Greek foods are a safe bet, but I’d love specific recommendations. Does it go better with lighter options like seafood and meze, or can it stand up to something heartier like lamb or moussaka?
I’ve tried it with feta and olives, which was nice, but I’m curious if there are less obvious pairings that might highlight its unique flavor. Looking forward to your suggestions—I’d love to experiment more with this wine!
