Wine Pairings
Spicy ceviche Pair it with: An off-dry German white. Due to this dish’s acidity and heat, matching a wine to it can be a bit tricky. But this crisp German riesling, with just a touch of sweetness and aromatics of Granny Smith apples and limes, complements it perfectly. Top pick: Carl Reh Riesling Kabinett, Germany, $12.
What is ceviche? This Latin American dish is prepared by curing raw fish* in citrus juice, seasonings and aromatics. The acid in the juice alters the protein in fish in a process similar to cooking; the result is silky, slightly firm fish. This dish is prepared without heat, so always use the freshest fish possible.
