Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are great choices 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. One wine you could try is Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc (OU Kosher). It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.
