Wine note: With its layered spices and distinctly Asian ingredients, this chicken and bean stew finds its match in an off-dry riesling like Blue Fish Sweet Riesling 2007 ($11) from Germany. The wine's peachy, tropical sweetness nicely balances the heat of the dish, while its vibrant acidity cuts through the richness of coconut milk. —Jeffery Lindenmuth
