WINE

Optimum summer white? Why, that would be a blend of moschofilero, roditis and savatiano, of course, with a bit of chardonnay thrown in. Seriously, the Elios Mediterranean White ($14) is a major warm-weather refresher, as sunny as the region (Greece's Péloponnèse) from which it springs. Ripe and fruity, it has just enough acidity to perk up the palate and provide a zippy finish. Try it with, well, a Greek salad or calamari or a Friday night fish fry. Available at Bottle House, Cheers, St. Anthony, Lake Elmo Wine Company and others.
