Thai Wine and Thai Food Many people around the world argue that Asian Food and especially Thai Food cannot be matched with wine. The Oenologists at PB Valley Khao Yai Winery, the birthplace of the Khao Yai Wine Region like to proof otherwise and have matched our international award winning wines with Thai Food. You will be surprised how well the various dishes fit with wine but obviously we also do not argue that some of the fiery hot dishes go best with a fresh cool beer. Cheers

Sawasdee Khao Yai

Chenin Blanc 2010

Light bodied white with tropical and stone-fruits combination, suggesting pineapple, guava, pear and peach with a hint of coconut palm sugar along with good acid balance. Perfect on its own or with mild Thai dishes with good acid support like most Yum salad dishes (mild one). Sweetness from sugar and sourness from limes with mild touch of chili hotness harmonize well with this simple white. Dishes with sweet mild curry sauce like Chuchee and Penang also accompanied well.
