Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc are great choices 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. One wine you could try is Barefoot Cellars Merlot. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 13 dollars.

Barefoot Cellars Merlot

Delicious aromas and flavors of blueberry jam, currant and plum. Integrated oak lifts the fruit, and complements medium rich tannins and lingering, vanilla oak finish
