Recommended wine: Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer

Riesling, Chenin Blanc, and Gewurztraminer are my top picks for Thai. 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. You could try Weingut Schneider Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Trocken. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.
