Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. 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 Gabrielskloof Chenin Blanc with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Gabrielskloof Chenin Blanc

On the nose, white peach, pear, almonds and wet stone. The palate is driven by vibrant acidity and mineral freshness with a long, lingering aftertaste.
