Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz 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 Poema Cavan Extra Dry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
Poema Cava Extra Dry
Poema Cava Extra Dry
Shows crisp aromas of green apples, chalk and spring flowers, and fresh, tangy fruit flavors in the mouth with a trace of sweetness that is well balanced by acidity.A great aperitif, this wine also pairs with starters and savory tarts.
