Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Banfi Rosa Regale Brachetto with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Banfi Rosa Regale Brachetto

This wine is featured at Starbucks® locations where their Evenings menu is offered.A soft red sparkling wine, made from Brachetto. This extremely aromatic, complex and historical grape variety grows only in the area of Acqui Terme, in Southern Piedmont. The cold maceration of the grapes, followed by a soft pressing, allows the extraction of the typical intense aromas from the skins and gives to the wine its characteristic light ruby red color. Very pleasant and extremely elegant.Perfect for any occasion. A unique and festive sparkling wine, seductive aperitif, and elegant dessert wine. Pairs well with seafood, cheeses, spicy fare and chocolate. Serve chilled.

Instructions

Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or dutch oven to 365 degrees F. Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. This will help the batter adhere. Gently beat the egg and buttermilk into the flour mixture using hand mixer. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Place the bread and panko crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a gentle tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.I suggest completing this entire step before starting to fry rings. Its very easy to burn them if youre distracted. I may or may not be speaking from experience. Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. They should float to the top immediately if they dont your oil is not hot enough. Turn rings over once during the frying time. Remove form oil and transfer to a paper towel to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve warm. Preparing Dipping Sauce: Mix Sriracha Chili and Crema thoroughly until completely blended. Use more or less of the chili sauce depending on your heat preference.
