Riesling for warm winter food

We often think of Riesling as a wine for summer days. Toss a bottle in the fridge and enjoy it as a thirst-quencher with hot-weather fare.

But in the depths of winter – regardless of how mild it has been – there’s nothing quite so warming or comforting as bold, spicy dishes. And these often pair beautifully with Rieslings of varying sweetness levels.

Here are a few of our favorite winter dishes to pair with Rieslings.

• Phở.
• Enchiladas.
• Thai curries.
• Chili.
• Saag paneer.
• Kimchi.
• Shrimp creole.
• Hot wings.
• Hot-and-sour soup.

Here are a dozen delicious Northwest Rieslings we’ve tasted in recent weeks.
