Tasting notes: The elevated acidity in this Riesling is the perfect complement to the rich coconut milk. The fruit on the front of the palate is a great contrast to the exotic spices layered throughout the curry.

Serena's tips: To make this curry vegetarian, you can omit the fish sauce or substitute vegan fish sauce.
