Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Southern works really well with Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel. 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. The Kruger-Rumpf Munsterer Rheinberg Riesling Kabinett with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Kruger-Rumpf Munsterer Rheinberg Riesling Kabinett

A mixture of apples, along with their skins, and orange flesh. Solid acid-driven finish, and beautifully balanced. Soulful texture from cask aging. A leap not forward but down, into truth and foundation. This isn’t a “little” Kabinett anymore.
