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. You could try Buena Vista Chateau Buena Vista Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 39 dollars per bottle.

Aromas of black tea and cardamon are layered by notes of blueberry and blackberry. Fresh flavors of cranberry, plum and orange peel provide lively savory notes with a touch of mineral and cardamon. This is a rich and full-bodied Pinot Noir with balanced acidity and a finely textured finish.
