Greek Feast in Rochester NY

[Nicola Kountoupes]

I'm cooking a greek feast this Sunday, and I am looking for a greek market.

Is there one in Rochester NY area?

and i am looking for king george(?) red wine, metaxa, uzo. I've exhausted the turkish markets, and have gotten some good feta, orzo, lamb, etc...but where is the GREEK??

also, a great recipe for tsatsiki would be nice..

thank you so much!

Ooops -- posted this on the other thread you started, but it fits better here on the Cooking forum...

I just had a greek-themed dinner party last Saturday night... I highly recommend the Fage greek yogurt for the tzatziki -- available at Wegmans... Recipe I used was:

Tzatziki

2 cups greek yogurt

1 large cucumber

1 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press

1/2 cup fresh finely chopped dill

2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

lots of fresh ground black pepper

Peel, seed, and then shred the cucumber on a box grater. Place it in a colander in the sink and lightly salt it, let sit for 1/2 an hour to drain. Then put it in a clean dishtowel and squeeze all the water out you can. Mix it with all the other ingredients, and let sit for a bit in the fridge (but not more than 3 hours as the cucumber will start giving off more water.)

Guests and husband loved this recipe (I don't like yogurt so not for me...)

The Rochester public market has the Feta (Bulgarian Feta at Giordano's), Century Discount Liquor has the Metaxa and Uzo, Halal meats on ridge road should have the lamb or Skips in Henrietta. Also, BJ's and Sam's always has very nice lamb tenderloins and chops.
