Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc

Asian works really well with Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc. 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. You could try Westport Winery "Ancient Mariner" Riesling & Pear wine blend (Benefits Coastal Animal Rescue and Adoption). Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 27 dollars per bottle.
