like a Riesling or Gewürztraminer. Sometimes a Chenin Blanc (aka Vouvray) or a Chenin Blanc blend will pair well. I really think of Riesling as the go-to for a lot of Asian dishes because the hint of sweetness in the wine pairs well with a little spice. Sometimes you can get away with other pairings; if something is mushroomy/meaty and not too sweet, a light bodied red can do, too, like a Beaujolais, or even a Rhone Red or Pinot Noir. Sparkling wines are another option as they seem to go with anything. Adobo seems to go best with beer, IMO.

I'm homesick already!

One of my most best girlfriends is moving back to San Diego so I feel I can't get home fast enough!  

She cooks some damn good lumpia, which I haven't had in awhile.

Is there a good wine that pairs with Asian and Phillipino cuisine?

semi-dry white guy, unless he smells mushroomy.

Ah a wine connoisseur!  

I love me some Riesling or Gewürztraminer as my favorite is a cold sweet sake. ( You see the correlation)  

Beer & Adobo....I AGREE!  

Cheers to you wonderful woman!
