For all those intense flavours and the delicious texture of the meal I would go with a South African Cabernet, or an Australian Chiraz. Stay with the reds, whites will be lost in the flavours.
Something that may go better with this meal may be a good ale. Something a bit darker with an earthy hop. A stout or a Brown ale.
With chicken a red wine would go with the gumbo since I'm assuming the sauce it red as well. Beer would also go well with gumbo.
Spicy - sounds good ;-)
I like Chianti for spicy food, personal preference.
Ruffino makes some really good Chianti wines.
Perhaps I will be in the minority, but I think a spiced wine served punch style or sangria would be really nice with this.
I made some gumbo the other night. Sounds like a good recipe.
With a spicy dish like this I would go with a slightly sweet white, perhaps reisling or gewurtraimer, or a sparkling wine!
Sweet tea for me. lol..sorry, I'm from the south.
