Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling

Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Riesling are my top picks for Caribbean. 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 Elena Walch Kastelaz Gewurztraminer. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 38 dollars.

Elena Walch Kastelaz Gewurztraminer

Gewürztraminer "Kastelaz" is a ripe, lush golden yellow color. Its bouquet is intensive, captivating and very complex with aromas of roses and litchis as well as dried fruits, with spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves and a touch of honey in the background. The wine is just as convincing and complex in the mouth: round and full, compact and creamy with harmonious freshness and structure as well as an aromatic finish. A wine with finesse and character.
