German Riesling is always great to drink on its own,  any time of the day, but with certain foods, it's a match "made in heaven."  One example would be spicy Asian food, which has gained enormous popularity in recent years.  Choosing the right wine just takes a little common sense. 

High alcohol and spice fight!  Together, they burn, so it makes sense to choose wine low in alcohol for spicy food.  Sweet helps put out the fire, so, small amounts of residual sugar help calm the heat. Riesling hits both those points.

My selection today is the 2008 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Riesling Kabinett Trocken.
