Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc (OU Kosher). Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.
Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc (OU Kosher)
A fresh and round mouth feel with intense fruity notes of nectarine, gooseberry and pine with a bright, clean finish. A versatile wine to enjoy with spicy ethnic foods from Chinese to Indian. Also great as an aperitif.
