Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The Essay Chenin Blanc Blend with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Essay Chenin Blanc Blend
Old, bush-vine chenin blanc was used as the anchor of this wine and gives it its intense fruitiness and refreshing acidity. The viognier adds floral and spicy notes and a soft, appealing richness to the palate. Perfect with grilled seafood and chicken.
