Recommended wine: Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, Sparkling Rose
Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Indian. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. The Blanchard Perez Cava Brut with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
