Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Tacos. 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 Cipriani Prosecco with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
Cipriani Prosecco
Cipriani Prosecco
Cipriani Bellini is the world-famous cocktail made with white peach pulp and brut sparkling wine. It was invented in 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani of Harry's Bar in Venice and is served in every Cipriani location around the world. A great way to start any party or to have with Sunday Brunch! Cipriani Bellini shows elegant, fresh, and fruity aromas with a balanced sweetness and fragrant bubbles. Perfect anytime, great as an aperitif.
