Hot and Sour Soup
Hot and Sour Soup is It will be a hit at your Autumn event. Head to the store and pick up sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the soy sauce you could follow this main course with the Panna Cotta with Strawberry-Vin Santo Sauce as a dessert.

Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc (OU Kosher). Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.

A fresh and round mouth feel with intense fruity notes of nectarine, gooseberry and pine with a bright, clean finish. A versatile wine to enjoy with spicy ethnic foods from Chinese to Indian. Also great as an aperitif.
