Subject: What wine with Chipotle
In the Washington Post, the wine reviewer selected a 2002 Wyndham Estate Shiraz to go with Chipotle Barbacoa Burrito. I'm not big on wine so I can't say if this is a good choice. Now for a beer, I would select an amber ale, such as Fat Tire to go with the Burrito.

The reviewer actually paired wines with a bunch of fast food. See the link for the whole review.

Call Central Market in Houston and ask for Martin Korsen. Seriously. He's one of the best sommeliers in the country and he's a very nice guy. They have Chipotle nearby, so you probably won't be the first guy to ask him. 713-993-9860

I would second the Shiraz, but only with food that is not spicy hot. Somehow wine amplifies the heat in spicy food and makes my tongue miserable. Just a thought... What about champagne? Champage and Chipotle.. hmmm.. interesting.

I know I like a good sweet white wine with spicey Thai food -- like a Gewertztraminer or Riesling.

With Mexican food.... let me think.... Shiraz would probably work.  It's still sweet, but "meaty" and can hold its own.

I don't like beer, but I'd think one would prefer beer with Mexican food.  I generally reach for the bottled-in-Mexico Coke.  Or a yummy horchata.  Or, my all-time favorite: Pena Fresca (pineapple drink).

How about a combo I seen on "Sanford and Son". Fred mixed champagne and Ripple and called it Champipple. Sounds like the perfect companion to your BURRRIIITTTOE!!!

My husband and I went to a local brew pub and tried the chipotle beer.  He really liked it.  I like the honey cream.

Wine???  Hell no.

Go out and get yourself a nice 6 pack of Pacifico or Negro Modelo.  Or if you really want to get fancy grab some Dos Equis (XX) Amber.  Yum.

I'm definitely on the beer-with-mexican train. nothing tops a nice simple corona with burritos or fajitas... unless of course it's a nice simple margarita!

Champipple!!!! Oh Lord, Lizbeth, it's the big one .... 

I would go with a good white wine, either a Pinot Grigio or a Reisling.  Gewertztraminer, although very sweet--too sweet in my estimation--would not go well with Chilpotl; it is more a dessert wine.

Bad chipotle experience yesterday! The rice in my bol was COLD! Since it was an take out order, I didn't find out until I got home. Grumble grumble. I wrote a nasty comment on the Chipotle website.
