Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Riesling

Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, 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 Pierre Sparr Gewurztraminer with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
