Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache

Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache are my top picks 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 Juve Y Camps Reserva de la Familia 40th Anniversary Cuvee Cava with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Juve Y Camps Reserva de la Familia 40th Anniversary Cuvee Cava
Pale gold in color, this Cava has aromas of ripe white peaches, toasted baguette with hints of lemon citrus and apricots. The palate is rich and broad with flavors of green apple, jasmine green tea and toasted almonds. This brut nature cava is extremely versatile because no dosage added, so the acidity and bubbles clean your palate after each bite. Recommended dishes: garlic shrimp, miso-marinated sea bass, sesame encrusted tuna, chicken tikka masala and Jamon Iberico.
