Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Southern. 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 Brundlmayer Steinmassl Riesling with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 39 dollars per bottle.

Brundlmayer Steinmassl Riesling
A cool beginning with scents of pine forest, juniper and red peach leaping outof the glass. Hearty and robust; very lively with a good medium body, crispfreshness and ample extract; chisseled with vibrant acidity that is soon tointegrate completely. Beautiful grip.
