Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Southern 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 Brundlmayer Steinmassl Riesling. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 39 dollars.

A cool beginning with scents of pine forest, juniper and red peach leaping outof the glass. Hearty and robust; very lively with a good medium body, crispfreshness and ample extract; chisseled with vibrant acidity that is soon tointegrate completely. Beautiful grip.
