DOESN'T WORK
Wiemer Semi-Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
White, Still
Pairing Idea: Off-dry riesling
Too sweet for the dish, kills the heat, leaves behind not much. The vindaloo almost can't come back at the end. Wipes your palate of the food completely. Less respectful of the dish. Why would you spend the time to make that dish and then put that wine next to it to annihilate it.
