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 Teutonic Gamay Pinot Noir Blend 1787 AD. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
