sushi/ asian cuisine

[wondersofwine]

There's a sushi/seafood restaurant in Charlotte, NC that selects wines to go with that time of cuisine. Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wines that seems to go with sushi. Most of us on this board feel that some of the best Sauvignon Blancs are from the Loire Valley of France (particularly the Sancerre region) or New Zealand. We also prefer the Sauvignon Blanc without wood influences. St. Supery makes a nice California Sauvignon Blanc that is not aged in wood barrels. Honig is another decent California brand.

I like Alsatian Gewurztraminer with slightly spicy Asian food. Riesling is another possibility (probably a dry Riesling from Alsace or a Riesling Kabinett from Germany).
A delicate Pinot Noir with shrimp maybe but that could be a tricky pairing.
