Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Southern can be paired with Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel. 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 Dr. Hermann Urziger Wurzgarten Kabinett Riesling with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Dr. Hermann Urziger Wurzgarten Kabinett Riesling

Light yellow green. Scents of spices and stone fruits with some notes of red berries. It is bright and fresh with some residual sugar. Fine acidity with some delicate honey notes and a long spicy finish.The refined spices from this wine makes it an ideal companion for Asian spicy dishes. This Kabinett is best consumed when young and fresh.
