Curry Elvis Cooks - Fusion Cuisine Recipes and Food Philosophy

In the September 2005 issue of Food and Wine, there's an article by Lettie Teague on matching wines to Chinese food. Her suggestion? A Gewürztraminer matches nicely with spicy Chinese food. It works well with other spicy food, too. For example, Vietnamese, Thai and East Indian food. No doubt by now you'll have noticed a tendency towards Vietnamese and East Indian food on my blog (although the focus is always world/ fusion cuisine in general), so I thought I'd mention a few drinks that I or friends enjoy with Indian curries.

Basically, with any spicy food, a dry white is always good. Gewürztraminer works. My mother used to like to drink Black Tower, a German white wine that's mild enough for an almost-teetotaler. A crisp beer such as Tsingtao is good, as is the Jamaican Red Stripe. Personally, I'm just as happy with apple juice, ginger ale or sometimes a cola.
