Although the match of foods with wine is very subjective there are certain rules that will help enhance your enjoyment.
Simply put; the more delicately flavoured the food the lighter and more delicate the wine should be. Accordingly, the fuller and spicer dishes will go better with more robust fuller flavoured wines. Thai cuisine has an abundance of garlic, chillies and a characteristic mix of lime juice, lemon grass and fresh corriander - all these delicious flavours make certain demands of the wines.
This list offers you a range of wines from the fruit driven flavours of the lighter wines to the crisp drier wines from the Loire valley and Burgundy. All have the essential balance of fruit and acidity to partner the spicier, fuller flavoured dishes.
The red selection lists a number of wines which also go well with the spicier foods. In particular those from the Rhone, Spain and Australia.
The main priority is to follow your nose, pay attention to preferences and, above all, enjoy the wines together with the delicious dishes from the Ayudhya Kitchen.
