This is a great party recipe because the beans actually taste even better if they're made a day or two ahead. (It gives the flavors a chance to truly meld.) Then all you'll really have to do on the day of the event is cook the pork and rewarm the beans.

Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are great choices for Chili. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad Cava Brut with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.

The Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad Cava Brut has lightly smoky opening aromas with touches of biscuit and hints of honey and flower petals. The palate is excellent, fruity, and full of flavor, delivering a delightful sense of abundance. Blend: 67% Macabeo, 33% Parellada
