A Look at Kyma's Full Wine Menu: by-the-Glass Selections, Bottles, and Pricing

Uncover key developments on A Look at Kyma's Full Wine Menu: by-the-Glass Selections, Bottles, and Pricing in this special report.

The by-the-glass (BTG) list offers a rapid education in Greece's primary grape profiles without requiring a multi-hundred-dollar bottle commitment. Pours typically measure six ounces, poured from temperature-calibrated cruvinet units or preserved via argon gas draft systems to avoid the oxidation that flattens white aromatic grapes.

White glass pours focus on crisp minerality. A standard entry-level pour begins around $16 to $18, commonly featuring a bright Moschofilero from Mantinia or a dry Roditis blend. Moving into high-salinity island wines pushes prices into the $22 to $28 tier, home to estate-bottled Santorini Assyrtiko and barrel-fermented Vidiano from Crete.

For reds, the glass list balances approachable fruit with muscular structure. Peloponnesian Agiorgitiko serves as the everyday crowd-pleaser at $17 to $21 per glass, offering supple plum notes and soft tannins reminiscent of right-bank Bordeaux. Northern reds demand higher pricing; single-vineyard Xinomavro pours run $22 to $26, bringing taut acid, dried cherry, and black olive complexities that hold up against charred lamb loin.

Sparkling selections steer clear of mass-produced Prosecco, opting instead for dry PDO Amynteo sparkling rosé made from Xinomavro ($18 to $20), or traditional method Cretan Vidiano sparklers that display fine brioche layers alongside crisp green apple.
