Wine Pairing with Vietnamese Cuisine

A Vietnamese Farmers Market

Many of our food pairing suggestions center around the idea of Gruner Veltliner and Riesling matching perfectly with Asian influenced dishes. Well, we’re not the only ones who think this works- and to prove that we didn’t just pull the idea out of our hat, we would like to present the pairing of these wines with Vietnamese cuisine.

The Slanted Door in San Francisco is considered to be the best Vietnamese restaurant in the United States, and sommelier extrordinaire Mark Ellenbogen has put together an impeccable wine list to pair with their innovative menu- a wine list that includes Winemonger wines that fly off the list by the glassful. In fact, they almost single-handedly sold us out on the Hogl Schon Gruner Veltliner Federspiel and the Hogl Loibner Vision Riesling Smaragd (the last bottles of both of these wines are still available here as of the date of this post.)

Here is your chance to try this pairing home.

Slanted Door chef Charles Phan has provided the recipes for a complete dinner menu you can make at home. Order some of our great Gruner Veltliner and Riesling wines and taste this incredible match-up for yourself.
