Pinot Gris grown in New Zealand's Marlborough region takes on a lush, stone-fruit depth substantial enough to pair with this aromatic, Asian-influenced pork dish.

Ingredients
- 3/4 pound ground pork
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
- 1 tablespoon Thai sweet chile sauce
- 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

- In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork with the bell pepper, garlic, ginger, chile sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of grapeseed oil until shimmering.

Stir in the water chestnuts, scallions, oyster sauce and cilantro and remove from the heat.
