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 Weingut OTT Der Ott Gruner Veltliner with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 39 dollars per bottle.
Weingut OTT Der Ott Gruner Veltliner
A wonderful edition of this wine, recalling the outstanding 2014 vintage. Beautifully herbal with inferences of stone. Savory, like roasting 5 different breads in a single oven. Crusty, like the end-cap of a roast. The wine offers notes of peppers, cardamom and allspice. A gentle force.
