Pairing Wine With Indian Food

The Chronicle's wine section today offers a guide to pairing wine with Indian food.


If you ask about which wine to pair with Indian food, expect a one-word answer. Usually Gewurztraminer. Perhaps Riesling. Maybe Syrah.


An entire culture's cuisine to be paired with a single varietal? Ridiculous.


In fact, they suggest that Gewurztraminer isn't actually a good fit.
