Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are great choices 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. One wine you could try is Bollig-Lehnert Piesporter Goldtroopfchen Riesling Spatlese. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 24 dollars.

Bollig-Lehnert Piesporter Goldtroopfchen Riesling Spatlese

Piesporter - Goldtröpfchen is one of the best-known individual vineyards (Einzellagen) in the Mosel region of Germany. This vineyard consists of steep, slatey southern-facing slopes arranged in a dramatic amphitheater-like shape for ideal exposure and aspect with the river reflecting much-desired sun directly to the vines. The excellent Rieslings are typically sun-warmed and ripe, with pronounced slate minerality and balancing acidity. Ripe, full of tropical fruit flavors of pineapple, mango, and guava, with pastry accents. Offers a bright finish of kiwifruit and lime, showing a touch of chamomile and cream. A succulent Riesling.A perfect match for strong Indian and Asian spiced dishes. Also fantastic with a spiced duck leg, dishes with acidic sauces, roasted vegetables, and soft cheeses.
