Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Quesadilla works really well 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 Burn Cottage Cashburn Pinot Noir. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.

Ripe dark cherry, redcurrant and chocolate notes precede savoury notes of wild thyme, briar, and earth. Supple mouthfilling tannins give depth to the palate, while the freshness and red-berry acidity retain lovely length, focus, and balance.
