Help! Soul Food + Wine!

[Jeff]

Here is a challenge for all you wine experts:

My family just got invited to a dinner party with the theme of: SOUL FOOD. Everyone attending will be bringing some sort of 'soul food' dish...

We were given the task of bringing the wine... The question for you:

What kind of wines would go good with soul food? Would it just be something that goes good with southern fried chicken? HELP!
