Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are great choices 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. One wine you could try is Burn Cottage Cashburn Pinot Noir. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
