Equipment

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 Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spatlese. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 29 dollars per bottle.
Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spatlese
Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spatlese
Classic natural sweet Spatlese with nice acidity and elegant, natural residual sugar. Selective harvest, gentle processing of the must, systematic clarification, slow fermentation and careful finishing are the basics for this traditional Vollrads' Riesling.This wine pairs perfectly with Asian cuisine due to the harmony of sweetness and acidity. Also interesting taste combinations can be achieved through the pairing of blue-veined cheese or a fruit dessert.
