Wine note: Beef satay is a tasty wine problem: All those heady Southeast Asian aromatics--tamarind, coriander, lemongrass--suggest an aromatic white match. But underneath the spice is beef, so go with pink! Look to a bone-dry, crisp, fruity ros from California that's full of spicy red fruit flavors. Try Zaca Mesa 2009 "Z Gris" from Santa Ynez Valley ($16). Tart cherry and sweet, wild strawberry flavors are surrounded by aromatic spices, lime, and herbs. --Sara Schneider
