Equipment

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.

Blanchard Perez Cava Brut
Blanchard Perez Brut is straw yellow with green highlights in appearance. The nose is fresh and expressive with primary aromas of green apple and pear along with dried nuts and fresh baked bread notes. On the palate notes of ripe fruit with expressive citrus character are accompanied by a hint of Mediterranean herbs. Balanced acidity, weight and texture result in a long and lively finish.This sparkling wine has the perfect balance of dryness, bubbles and fruit to enrich any dining experience. It is a is a fantastic choice to serve alongside veggies, shrimp and shellfish, or delicious by itself!Blend: 33% Macabeo, 33% Xarel-lo, 34% Parellada
