Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are great choices for Southern. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. One wine you could try is Selbach Oster Mosel Riesling Kabinett. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Selbach Oster Mosel Riesling Kabinett
A crackly, starched and impeccable Kabinett; very limey-herbal; especially appley and minerally; stern minty finish. Goes with anything you like in the poultry, shellfish and seafood cuisine, especially if accompanied by cream- or butter based sauces. Great with summer salads and with Pacific Rim Cuisine.
