Chili is a great go-to dish for Sunday football or chilly winter weekends. Spicy, hearty, brash and brawny, chili meets its match in Malbec, the Argentine wonder-grape with dark fruits, hints of chocolate, smoke, and spice that complement the slightly bitter tinge of the beer-based chili. Try the 2007 Kaiken Reserve Malbec ($14).
