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. You could try Mont-Marcal Cava Brut Reserva. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.

Mont-Marcal Cava Brut Reserva
Estate bottled and disgorged upon order following minimum of 18 months aging on lees. Produced from Xarel-lo, Macabeo, & Chardonnay grapes in a classically dry style. Finely beaded texture with doughy complexity and excellent fruit on the dry finish. Zesty aromas of citrus and ripe yellow fruit -like a gently spiced pear set in pastry.
