Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Southern. 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 Karthauserhof Karthauserhofberg Riesling Kabinett with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

The fragrance something yeasty, very fresh with a distinct accent of red fruits, especially raspberry. A classy, easy dance cabinet with fine minerally finish.
