Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc 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. The Barefoot Cellars Riesling Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
