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. One wine you could try is Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.

Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc
The Lang & Reed 2015 Chenin Blanc – Napa Valley has peach and tropical fruit that are immediately on the nose, with the necessary hint of honeycomb (the traditional varietal character), and a lesser expression of apple and citrus. On the palate, the aromas are mirrored and given an even stronger presence with yellow apple exotic citrus notes, which give it an accurate tartness. The texture is tender, and the flavors broaden with a touch of saline minerality, which leads into bright crisp acidity, adding to the wine’s refreshing character. It will blossom and gain in complexity with additional bottle time.
