Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Thai. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The David & Nadia Chenin Blanc with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 36 dollars per bottle.
