This delightful octopus pairing was matched with a 2022 Santorini Assyrtiko wine, praised for its mineral notes and intriguing hints of sweet honeysuckle. Seafood lovers will also be thrilled to taste the traditional Portuguese dish called cataplana, a luscious seafood stew brimming with lobster, mussels, and halibut.
