Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Fried Chicken can be paired 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. The Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Riesling Spatlese with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 50 dollars per bottle.

Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Riesling Spatlese

The Herrenberg Spatlese is always the flashiest wine at Grunhaus as the vineyards red slate soils render a more lush, slightly lower acid riesling that its bigger brother Abstberg. Spatlese sweet with explosive aromas and flavors of red delicious apples, yellow peaches, strawberry/rhubarb and salty minerals. Full bodied for a riesling, serve with a Virginia baked ham, a spicy lamb curry or just a traditional Jaeger schnitzel.
