- nidalek - 12-07-2000 Hello everyone, I need your professional assistance in Matching wines, red and white, with Thai food; This restaurant is opening soon in Lebanon, I would love to have suggestions of French, Australian or USA wines. Thanx a lot and please feel free to pass by our new restaurant called L'Asiatique. Nidale - Bucko - 12-07-2000 You left out the best match with Thai food -- GERMAN Riesling at the Spatlese/Auslese level. There are only imitators, no matches. Bucko - ddf68 - 12-08-2000 Alsatian Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris are all good matches for Thai cuisine. Trimbach, Hugel, and Zind-Humbrecht are some good producers with wide distribution that should be relatively easy to find. Good luck. ddf [This message has been edited by ddf68 (edited 12-08-2000).] - Botafogo - 12-08-2000 WE are strong believers in Belgian Ale as the actual solution here but a nice crisp Kerner (a white hybrid of Riesling and Vernatscht, a red grape) from Alto Adige or Austria, an Austrian Gruner Veltliner or a really cold glass of Prosecco works nice as well. Roberto - Thomas - 12-09-2000 ...and while you are at it, look for an Austrian or Italian Sylvaner for that Thai food. |
