Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Southern works really well 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. One wine you could try is Dr. Hermann Urziger Wurzgarten Kabinett Riesling. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

The red sandstone and slate soil mix creates the unique character of the Ürziger Würzgarten. The soil will develop the exotic, spicy aromas in the wine and also a greater potential for aging. The grapes are hand harvested at optimum ripeness, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks and bottled young in order to retain its vivacity and freshness. This wine was bottled in February 2008.Light yellow green color, scent of spices and stone fruits with some notes of red berries. Palate: It is bright and fresh with some residual sugar. Fine acidity with some delicate honey notes and a long spicy finish.
