Equipment

Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Southern on the menu? Try pairing with Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. The Selbach Oster Mosel Riesling Kabinett with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Selbach Oster Mosel Riesling Kabinett
A crackly, starched and impeccable Kabinett; very limey-herbal; especially appley and minerally; stern minty finish. Goes with anything you like in the poultry, shellfish and seafood cuisine, especially if accompanied by cream- or butter based sauces. Great with summer salads and with Pacific Rim Cuisine.
