Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

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 Willamette Valley Vineyards Whole Cluster rosé of Pinot Noir. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.
