So this is still work in progress. The consumer lovelies from my office come over for a live Indian cooking demo tomorrow so what better way to finalise my recommendations that to use them as guinea pigs? Do pls drop by soon to check the results okay? So sorry guys, I got terribly drunk at two Bond parties on Thursday and couldn’t bear to think let alone write about alcohol yesterday.

But for me, I like a crisp white like a sauvignon blanc, or one with a bit of sweetness like a riesling. In this posting, I suggest a riesling that went very well with a vindaloo dish I made. http://cookingchat.blogspot.com/2006/11/ode-to-indian-food.html I know some people do say a red like syrah or zin, with a bit of spice, can match well with a curry or other spicy food.

Chateau Indage is another up and coming winery. You know pair wine with Indian food is a real dilemma. I have heard that the recently released book "What to drink with what you eat" by Andrew Dornenburg et al has some suggestions. In my experience crisp beers go well with fish fry and kababs etc. Do share your observations. I tried Sula wines in India and they were good. Chateau Indage is another up and coming winery.

It's funny you mention it, I know the family in India that owns the company really well. They are also based in Calcutta, where I'm from. More later... Hi Amanda - I think you meant Sula is a brand.

Thu, 16 Nov 2006 17:25:24 +0000 http://www.quickindiancooking.com/2006/11/16/work-in-progress/#comment-173 Hi-- There is an Indian sommelier in San Francisco who swears by curries with Syrah, especially Sula, an Indian producer. Can you find that brand there? I've tried it, and with certain curries it actually stands up quite nicely. Sula also makes a good white, though the varietal is escaping me right now. nice posts.
