Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling

Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Riesling are great choices for Caribbean. You'll want to opt for wines with a bit of sweetness when dealing with spicy Caribbean dishes. Serve these wines chilled so they're even more refreshing. One wine you could try is Side Yard Vineyards Gewurztraminer. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 8 dollars.
