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. You could try Marques de Caceres Cava. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.
