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. One wine you could try is Weinert Cavas de Weinert. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 27 dollars.

"From select vineyards in Lujan de Cuyo, this blend of malbec, cabernet sauvignon and merlot is one of the brightest, clearest examples of Weinert's style..."-Wine & Spirits 93/100
