Green papaya salad  Look for a white blend from Vienna or
Austria that's sweet with a crisp minerality, such as a
Gemischter Satz. Phan especially likes it with the 2011
Bernreiter Gemischter Satz, a field blend grown within the city
limits of Vienna, typically drunk only at a Heuriger (a wine
tavern attached to one of the city's many wineries). Gemischter
Satz can have up to 20 varietals blended together. Some add
acidity, some musky sweetness some crisp minerality.  Grilled
pork chops with sweet lemon grass marinade  Look for very dry,
minerally Rieslings from the Wachau or Kamptal in Austria. "Most
people mistakenly pair a big red wine with our grilled meat
dishes," Phan says. "In fact, only a select few red wines go
well with our food. They need to be delicate, have lots of acid
and no tannins — tannins and the fish sauce we use in virtually
every dish taste bitter and metallic when they meet. Instead we
urge people to try something like the 2007 "Heiligenstein"
Riesling from Willi Bründlmayer in Kamptal.
