Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks 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. The Montinore Red Cap Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Balanced fruit with minimal environmental pressure. This is a blend of all the Pinot Noir blocks farmed. Each lot is fermented using native yeasts resulting in a true expression of the land on which it was grown. Drink from now to 2018. Pair with: salmon, sausage, squash, grilled meats and mushrooms are some of the many ingredients we’ve paired with the 2014 vintage.
