Drink pairing tips

  • Riesling and banh mi


    A banh mi can be tricky to find a white wine pairing for. We would suggest trying Riesling. It will pair nicely with the food and complete the meal thanks to its dry.

    Experts often pair banh mi with a glass of Kabinett, a popular white wine.

  • Go for Cilantro Chile Cooler with banh mi
