Wine Pairings
Citrusy fried rice
Pair it with: A surprising German delight.
German wines can be mystifying, but with a bit of careful pairing even the slightly sweeter examples can find a place at the dinner table. Peach, apple and citrus notes ally with this recipe’s lime and fried pork.
Our pick: Gustav Adolf Schmitt Niersteiner Spätlese Late Harvest, Germany, $14.
