Equipment

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 Arcane Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.

Arcane Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc
Produced from our own estate vines at Wheatland Vineyard, this dry "white" Pinot Noir is produced by pressing off whole cluster Pinot Noir grapes immediately after harvest. The resulting wine has intense floral aromas of honeysuckle, nectarine and gardenia and flavors of honeydew melon, white peaches, and rainier cherry. The wine has a rich, creamy mouthfeel but finishes clean, with notes of wet stone and a crisp flinty minerality.
