My husband & I have a desire to have wine with our meals - we have never done this and are not familiar with any wines. Can you direct me to where I could find this info.
We serve a lot of Asian food such as Chinese, Japanese and Thai. What wines would compliment those flavors. What brand are good. Thanks in advance for your help!

Me, Again. I was reading some of the posts and realized you might need more detail of the meals.
Mostly we serve: Egg drop or hot n sour soup with flaky noodles, Thai Salad W/ Peanut Sauce, Crab Ragoon and Egg or Spring Rolls, steamed and fried rice, Usually Stir Fry Chicken or Steak with vegetables in an array of different Sauce styles 1) Sweet & Sour 2) Plum Sauce 3) Sweet Ginger 4) Terriaki 5)Duck Sauce
The vegetables and other ingredients vary greatly: carrots, broccoli, zucchini, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, Baby Corn, Red & green Peppers, onions, sesame seeds or whatever else we decide to throw in.
We entertain quite a lot and would love to class it up a bit. Thanks!

My tasting gropup regularly meets at a Thai restaurant. We find German Riesling, Loire sweet wines and Alsatian Gewurztraminer to work wonderfully, especially the latter for me personally.

I agree wholehheartedly with the gevurrtzz. If you'll check back posts you'll find my wine preferences don't run to SW's. But the Asian food SCREAMS for this super juice, ( Specially from the Loire ) WW

I agree with the Alsation recommendation. I like a Tokay Pinot Gris. Its pretty versitile and tastey. Lucien Albrect puts out a Tokay Pinot Gris Veilles Vignes that is rockin and its great with curry dishes with sweetness as well. I serve it with a honey curry chicken I do.

Thanks Barnesy, silly me, the Alsatian Gris is a killer as well with Thai food. CRAFT disease is taking its toll..... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
