I agree with all of the above, I will often pair spicy BBQ with GSMs, just have to watch that the alcohol is well integrated.

Status: offline 		I've used the Stubbs Spicy before, and it has a pretty good bite in the finish for a commercial sauce. I think the only wine match would be an off-dry Riesling. Really it calls for Barleywine or big DIPA more than a wine.
YMMV.

Riesling, California Zinfandel or California Syrah LAST.

I think I’ve settled on a 2016 Dutton-Goldfield Riesling (from Marin County). I don’t know how sweet it is. Normally, if I see the words sweet or off-dry I run the other direction. Our wine collection is still predominantly from CA and WA. We do hope to expand soon. My father would be rolling over in his grave, if he knew we didn’t have any Mosel wines.

I don’t like beer. The hub can’t have red wine and spicy food at the same time (he loves both), which is a shame since a GSM sounds fabulous.

OMG! Isn't there a clause in the CT Forum rules that say you can't even mention not liking beer?
