Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling

Caribbean works really well with Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. 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. You could try Alsace Willm Gewurztraminer Reserve. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.
