Recommended wine: Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Indian. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. The Schloss Gobelsburg Schlosskellerei Gobelsburger Gruner Veltliner with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Extremely fragrant with whiffs of juicy mirabelle plum. So seductive and openly expressive with a pleasant filigree touch. Compact yet lively and robust. Fine stone fruit notes. Layers of subtle undertones and a nice racy finish.
