There is much debate about which wine varietal should be paired with Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine. Some recommend a lighter, fruiter Riesling to compliment the sweeter and sour flavors of the cuisine, others prefer a robust Syrah or peppery Zinfandel to hold up against the rich Asian spices and pork centered dishes. Well tonight we will have something for everyone, our eclectic selection of wines from various regions, varietals and vintages will allow for some very interesting pairings with the menu of Kuma Inn, a tapas style Thai-Filipino eatery tucked away on the Lower East Side.
2013 Wagner-Stempel Siefersheimer Riesling Vom Porphyr Trocken 91 Points
Germany, Rheinhessen
Part of a 7 bottle tasting. Some guests were pleasantly surprised by this riesling. While some people thought this was sweet compared to other wines in the tasting, this wine was right in the middle, very pleasant with the thai food we had or on its own. Well done.
