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 Selbach Oster Mosel Riesling Kabinett. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.

Selbach Oster Mosel Riesling Kabinett
A crackly, starched and impeccable Kabinett; very limey-herbal; especially appley and minerally; stern minty finish. Goes with anything you like in the poultry, shellfish and seafood cuisine, especially if accompanied by cream- or butter based sauces. Great with summer salads and with Pacific Rim Cuisine.
