Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris

Jerk Chicken works really well with Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris. You'll want to opt for wines with a bit of sweetness when dealing with spicy Caribbean dishes. Serve these wines chilled so they're even more refreshing. You could try Clean Slate Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.
