Recommended wine: Zinfandel, Riesling, Sparkling Wine

Southern works really well with Zinfandel, Riesling, and Sparkling Wine. 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. The Zinfandelic Amador County Old Vine Zinfandel with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
