Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Fajitas 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. The ONEHOPE Reserve Pinot Noir Wine with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.
