These mediterranean kefta lamb burgers on grilled pita are a good way to eat ground lamb. I like the lamb because the taste is pronounced and earthy! Now imagine with feta cheese and fresh mint in it … quite impressive!

Our sommeliers suggest

Domaine Thymiopoulos Naoussa 2019

Macedonia, Greece

The Domaine Thymiopoulos Naoussa, an aromatic, smooth red from Greece, is made from xinomavro, a grape known for its freshness and red fruit. That suits these kefta well: the tomato, the yogurt sauce and the feta call for a lively wine rather than a heavy one, and the mint-scented lamb only shines more. Eat it with both hands, ideally on the patio with napkins nearby. See the product

SAISON RUSTIQUE, DUNHAM, 6%

Lamb, feta and spices in a grilled pita hit hard. The clove in the saison yeast melts into the farmyard side of the meat, and the style's slight tartness answers the feta. Very dry, it keeps the kefta from feeling heavy halfway through the meal. See the product
