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. You could try Weingut Schneider Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Trocken. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.

Weingut Schneider Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Trocken

Smoky aromas lead into a palate that’s incredibly silky, salty and articulate; cherry blossom and scree in ultra hi-def; a delicate nip of chile-thread on the finish doesn’t obtrude on the cool breezy complexity.
