Kyma

Kyma stocks a wine list that is roughly 90% Greek, which makes it the most regionally committed wine program in Atlanta. Assyrtiko from Santorini, Xinomavro from Naoussa, Moschofilero from the Peloponnese, Agiorgitiko from Nemea. If those names are unfamiliar, that is exactly the point. Greek wine is having a global moment, and Kyma gives you a front-row seat. The staff is trained to guide diners through these varietals, and the pairings with the seafood-forward menu are natural and often revelatory.

Greek seafood is the backbone of the menu: whole grilled fish, octopus, prawns, and preparations that let the ingredients lead. The Buckhead setting is polished, and the hospitality carries that Greek warmth that makes you feel like a guest rather than a customer. The wine experience here is as much educational as it is enjoyable.

Committing 90% of your wine list to a single country that most American diners cannot identify on a wine map is the definition of a Wild Card. But Greek wine is the most exciting undervalued category in the world right now, and Kyma is the best place in Atlanta to discover it. Go with an open mind. Order the Assyrtiko. Thank us later.
