How To Choose Wine For Dinner
There’s nothing quite like pairing an exceptional wine with the perfect dish, surrounded by the company of friends and family. The right wine doesn’t just complement your meal, it elevates the entire evening, turning dinner into a celebration. At Krasi Wine & Meze in Boston’s Back Bay, we believe every glass tells a story, and every pairing creates a memory.
Here are a few simple tips for choosing the best wine to enjoy with your meal, and why Krasi is the perfect place to discover them:
Tips for Choosing the Best Wine for Your Meal
Understand What Your Guests Like
Wine is personal. Some guests may love bold reds, while others prefer crisp whites or refreshing rosés. A versatile option like rosé often pleases a crowd, but knowing preferences always helps. At Krasi, our team curates an extensive wine list—one of the largest Greek wine selections in the U.S.—so there’s something for every palate.
Pairing Wine with Food
Wine and food should complement each other, not compete. Lighter whites pair beautifully with starters and seafood, while reds often shine with rich, savory main courses. At Krasi, our chefs design meze plates and entrees that highlight these natural pairings, ensuring every sip enhances every bite.
Consider Alcohol Content
A wine’s balance matters just as much as its flavor. High-alcohol wines can feel heavy, especially for those not accustomed to drinking. Our knowledgeable staff is here to guide you, helping you select wines that perfectly match your meal—and your evening’s vibe.
Price Doesn’t Define the Experience
A memorable bottle doesn’t always have to be the most expensive one. At Krasi, we’re passionate about showcasing incredible Greek wines at every price point, from hidden gems to world-renowned vintages. The actual value lies in discovering something new and enjoying it with good company.
Wine Symposium Wednesdays in the Back Bay
Symposium Wednesdays are Krasi’s modern homage to the ancient Greek tradition of gathering to enjoy wine, conversation, and connection. Every Wednesday from 5–9:30 PM, we transform our bar seating into an intimate space for wine exploration and discovery. Each Symposium offers a unique opportunity to explore Greece’s wine culture in a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply curious, Symposium is your chance to sip, learn, and celebrate the stories, history, and bold flavors behind each bottle.
Elevate your Symposium experience with a special featured meze, thoughtfully crafted each week by our chefs in collaboration with our wine director. Together, they design the perfect pairing to complement the evening’s exclusive wine selections, making your wine journey even more unforgettable.
At Krasi Wine & Meze, we invite you to sip, savor, and celebrate the rich tradition of Greek winemaking, paired with authentic cuisine crafted to bring out the best in every glass. Join us in the Back Bay for a wine experience you’ll never forget.
