Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Quesadilla works really well with Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Stoltz Organic Pinot Noir with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

Stoltz Organic Pinot Noir

This Pinot shows well with its deep rich color and floral aroma for an organic Columbia Gorge Pinot noir. Everything is in order for this wine to either welcome years of aging or be drunk on the spot.
