A small carafe. A small glass. The sea handles the rest.

Trust the process. Order the house white.
You're in Greece. It's lunch. You're at a taverna by the water. You like white wine. Here's what you do.
It's always served cold, usually in a nice little jug or metal carafe with nice small cups, not a fancy wine glass. And it always hits.
Greece has been making wine for four thousand years. Every taverna pours something local, by the carafe — sometimes a glass jug, sometimes a battered metal pitcher. None of it is precious. All of it works. Trust the process.
Tip within a tip: Pantelis on Patmos. A taverna since 1950, on the harbour. Sit outside, order the Symi shrimp, ask for the house white. Life is good.
Where
Any taverna in Greece. Ideally one by the water.
The move
