Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Quesadillan 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. One wine you could try is DeLoach Russian River Pinot Noir. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 14 dollars.

A beautiful ruby red color in the glass, the 2018 Russian River Pinot Noir opens with bright red fruit aromas of strawberry and cherry. Raspberry, rhubarb and dark plum flavors are met with a touch of spice and bright acidity. This is a medium-bodied wine with moderate tannins and a lingering and mouthwatering finish
