Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. 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 WindRacer Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.

Beautiful aromas of sassafras, mocha and black licorice demonstrate the unique, bold personality of the Russian River Valley. Distinct flavors of brambly fruit, sweet oak and white pepper lead to a broad, balanced wine with food-friendly acidity. Russian River's warm, sunny days and cool foggy nights are optimal for Pinot Noir – the wines have great texture and weight without being overdone or losing their natural acidity. The classic deep, dark aromas and flavors the Russian River is known for shine through in this wine.
