Champagne and Pad Thai

Champagne and pad thai work so well together because it cleanses the palate after each bite. Pad thai is stir-fried, so it's both oily and fatty—two highly compatible attributes to champagne's acidic profile. It also tends to be spicy, though not unbearably so (if you don't add chilies, Sriracha and crushed red pepper). An off-dry champagne can really enhance the sweet and sour flavors of the dish.

Champagne suggestion: Extra-dry
