"For an encyclopedic wine list: Vintage Wine Bar and Bistro. Settle into one of Vintage’s brown leather chairs and get cozy with the novel-length wine list. This wine bistro, as it bills itself, boasts selections from around the world, but you’ll want to hone in on the Greek wines. Grouped geographically, it illustrates the widespread nature of Greek viticulture. But even more impressive is the number of back vintages, both by the glass, (such as a 2015 Thrapsathiri/Vilana blend from boutique producer Ktima Oikonomou in Sitia in Crete) and by the bottle (we spotted 2014 -2017 vintages of Vidiano, a variety that’s poised to be Crete’s signature white grape, from renowned estate Douloufakis.)"
"This bistro and wine bar, owned and operated by restaurateurs Iza and Panos Kyriazis, breathes fresh air into the historic neighborhood of Plaka in central Athens. The wine list includes a wide range of bottles from both Greek and international vineyards, while chef Erasmia Balaska continues to prove herself a prodigy in the kitchen with dishes combining traditional and modern Greek cuisine. Try the milk-fed lamb youvetsi, a popular casserole prepared with orzo in a rich tomato sauce. [$$$]" - Demetrios Ioannou
