White · Medium · Off-dry
Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.

Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Sparkling · Light · Off-dry
Veneto's everyday sparkler — Glera grape, charmat method, frothier and fruitier than Champagne. Pear, white flowers, easy fun. Made for aperitivo.

White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

White · Full · Dry
California's flagship white — rounder, riper, and oakier than the Old World original, with tropical fruit, butter, and vanilla. Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings are leaner; Napa stays plush.
Why it works with Spicy White Bean And Chicken Chili
American Chardonnay's richness and oak match Spicy White Bean And Chicken Chili's flavor depth — especially when there's butter or cream involved.
White · Medium · Dry
California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.
Why it works with Spicy Mussels In White Wine
American Gewürztraminer's body and slight sweetness can balance Spicy Mussels In White Wine's heat — Riesling and Gewürztraminer are classics for this reason.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Spicy White Chicken Soup
Chardonnay matches chicken's mild richness — oaked for roast, unoaked for poached.
Red · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Spicy Sausage, White Bean And Vegetable Soup
Lighter than a Cabernet, Chianti, Merlot, Chardonnay Or Sauvignon Blan still has the weight to match Spicy Sausage, White Bean And Vegetable Soup's body.
White · Medium · Dry
Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.
Why it works with Spicy White Bean And Chicken Chili
French Chablis's weight — neither too lean nor too plush.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
Why it works with Spicy White Chicken Soup
Light red that flatters chicken without overwhelming — the all-purpose poultry pairing.
White · Light · Dry
Sancerre's cousin across the Loire — Sauvignon Blanc with a smokier, flintier profile. The 'fumé' in the name refers to that struck-match minerality.
Why it works with Spicy Mussels In White Wine
Pouilly-fumé's acid handles the heat of Spicy Mussels In White Wine; off-dry styles tame chiles especially well.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.
Why it works with Spicy White Chicken Soup
Crisp white that lifts lighter chicken preparations with herbs and citrus.
