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. You could try J.J. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 22 dollars per bottle.

J.J. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett Riesling
Despite its still youthful freshness it shows the fine fruity Riesling characteristic and an underlying hint of mineral from the blue/grey Devonian slate soil.Serve this refreshing wine slightly chilled! As aperitif and, especially when more matured, in combination with seafood or poultry.
