Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling

Caribbean works really well with Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. 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. One wine you could try is Ovum Since I Fell For You Gewurztraminer. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 23 dollars.
