Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are great choices 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 The Winery of Good Hope Bush Vine Chenin Blanc with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
