Wine Pairings
Pair it with: A modern Greek blend The sprightly sauvignon blanc and the native vilana combine to great effect in this white, giving us lively flavours of yellow pear, melon rind and sun-warmed figs. It's a dream with zesty shrimp too. Our pick: Thalia Mediterra White, Greece, $10.
Serve with zucchini "pasta" salad.
Shopping tip: Dolmades are rice-stuffed grape leaves available in supermarket deli carts or cans. They are typically served as appetizers but make a great side if you're pressed for time.
