SA M SA R A HARMONY & BALANCE Matching wine with Asian-Fusion cooking is to start with the premise that we need wines which will emphasize a balance, as opposed to a sheer power, of taste sensations. The best wines for Asian fusion cuisine are those with moderate levels of alcohol, softer tannin, crisper acidity, and sometimes a judicious amount of residual sugar. It is a question of harmony and balance within the context of hot, sour, salty and sweet food sensations. Thank you! AHMED MUAZ Sommelier
