What wines pair the best with chili?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

Here are some wines which I think can work with chili: Grenache-based reds in general including Spanish Garnacha; red Cotes du Rhone and related Southern Rhone appellations; Primitivo; Argentine Malbec; Montepulciano d'Abruzzo; and many Syrah and Shiraz bottlings.
