3 CHANA MASALA Pairing: Dr. Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett, Germany Reasoning: Chana masala, a popular vegetarian Indian dish, is a chickpea curry dish cooked in a tomato-based sauce and often served with basmati rice and various breads such as puri, naan or roti. For curry dishes, you can follow the same principle as with the lumpiang sariwa and go with a rosé. If you want the best pairing, you need to pay attention to the most prominent flavour in the dish, which in this case would be the heat. If it's a mild curry, you could pair a rosé or even a light-bodied red. But if the dish is overtly spicy, this can mask the fruitiness of the wine and amplify the perception of the alcohol, neither of which are desirable. In this case, an off- dry Riesling can be your friend, like Dr. Loosen’s Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling. There is just enough sweetness to coat your palate and protect it from the effects of the heat, so you can appreciate the bold flavours in both the dish and the wine.
