Equipment

Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache

Chili can be paired with Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache. 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 Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.

A muscular wine with a soft side, this vintage of Shea introduces itself with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, a hint of mandarin orange and an enticing meatiness. Front end silkiness leads to a mouthful of dusky cherry, cranberry and spice. Elevated acids and robust tannins offer age-worthiness and an arresting addition to your cellar. Pair with: Tea-smoked duck breast with cherry reduction soy and ginger marinated tri tip roast baked ham with cranberry glaze.
