Recipe: Spicy 3-Bean Chili
December 2003: page 148
Scott's Wine Suggestion:
This recipe may be light, but it still packs a hearty punch. Vibrant flavors such as green chiles, fajita seasoning, lime juice, and hot sauce work to create this soul-soothing recipe. This may be off your radar screen, but a Riesling from Alsace (France) would make a tasty pairing with the chili. Riesling from this region have a touch of sweetness (read off-dry) and just the right amount of acidity. If you enjoy reds, serve a lightly chilled Beaujolais--especially Beaujolais-Villages with their lively, fruity flavors.
