Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc are my top picks for Egg Drop Soup. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spatlese with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spatlese

Classic natural sweet Spatlese with nice acidity and elegant, natural residual sugar. Selective harvest, gentle processing of the must, systematic clarification, slow fermentation and careful finishing are the basics for this traditional Vollrads' Riesling.This wine pairs perfectly with Asian cuisine due to the harmony of sweetness and acidity. Also interesting taste combinations can be achieved through the pairing of blue-veined cheese or a fruit dessert.
