Summer has long been synonymous with crisp whites and refreshing rosés, but few destinations celebrate the season quite like Greece. Across the country's islands and coastal vineyards, wine has always been more than an accompaniment to a meal. It is an expression of place, tradition, and the ingredients that define Mediterranean living. As American diners continue seeking authentic regional experiences, Greek wines are finding a well-deserved place on some of the country's most thoughtful beverage programs.

This season, Estiatorio Milos invites guests to explore that heritage through an expanded beverage program that extends beyond its new collection of signature spritzes. Alongside the cocktail menu, the restaurant has introduced a curated Greek Rosé program showcasing bottles from Greece and Cyprus, highlighting indigenous grape varieties including Xinomavro, Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko, and Mandilaria. Sourced from celebrated wine regions such as Santorini, Crete, Naoussa, Nemea, and Paphos, the collection offers a refreshing perspective on Mediterranean rosé while introducing guests to varietals rarely encountered outside the region.

Whether enjoyed alongside Milos' celebrated seafood or as an aperitif overlooking the city, each selection reflects the vibrant acidity, mineral character, and coastal influence that have made Greek wines one of the fastest-growing categories among sommeliers and wine enthusiasts alike. Together with the restaurant's seasonal "Meet Me At Milos" spritz collection, the program captures the effortless elegance of a Mediterranean summer, one glass at a time.
