Asian on the menu? Try pairing with Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling. 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 Botanica Wines Mary Delany Chenin Blanc. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 32 dollars.
