Casar de Burbia Mencia 2020
Green Spain, Spain
Casar de Burbia Mencia is an aromatic, soft red from Green Spain that won't pick a fight with a soup full of garlic, ginger and star anise. Soft means nothing drying or grippy to clash with the spice, and its red fruit makes a nice contrast with the soy sauce and mushrooms. Honestly, a red with rice noodles? Why not!

Jean Jambe, 4.5%
La Barberie
There's ginger in the bowl and ginger in the beer: double dose, and it's on purpose. The lime in this pale ale replaces the wedge you'd squeeze at the table, and its soft warmth extends that of the soup. The kind of pairing that sorts out a flu evening.
