White · Light · Off-dry

Washington and Finger Lakes Rieslings split the difference between Mosel delicacy and Alsatian heft — bright stone fruit, modest sweetness, lively acid. A natural with Thai, Indian, and anything off the spice rack.

American Riesling's bright acid lifts Sweet-and-sour Brisket cleanly — the lean white strategy.

Pouilly-fumé

Adventurous
