Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Mexican on the menu? Try pairing 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. You could try MacMurray Ranch Russian River Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 24 dollars per bottle.

MacMurray Ranch Russian River Pinot Noir

Our MacMurray Ranch 2012 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir opens with aromas of lavender and boysenberry that give way to flavors of dark cherry and pomegranate. This luscious wine has a silky mouthfeel, framed by subtle hints of oak from barrel aging.
