Wine Pick: When serving this with grilled steak, you'll want some structure to your wine to stand up to the meat. And what about all those bold spices? A well-chilled rosé in a crisp, food-friendly style will mesh well with all that's going on here. Try Marqués de Cáceres 2008 Rioja Rosado ($8.99).—Wini Mornaville and Charles Smothermon
