Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc are my top picks for Asian. 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 Purple Star Ancient Lakes Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Purple Star Ancient Lakes Riesling

Aromas of apricot and white peaches carry through the sweet mid palate with flavors of dried apricot, stone fruits and honey. Balanced on the finish with natural acidity.
