Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Fried Green Tomato 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 J.J. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese Riesling. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 56 dollars.
