Indian on the menu? Try pairing with Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. 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 Jules Taylor Gruner Veltliner with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
Jules Taylor Gruner Veltliner
Jules Taylor Gruner Veltliner
A vibrant wine bursting with lemon and white peaches with a delicate coating of vanilla and a tingly white pepper bite. It provides a nice dry backbone yet is layered and creamy with soft acidity and nutty nuances. It is bright and fresh with great richness and texture from the wild ferment and provides a particularly long, harmonious finish.
