Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Rose, Pinot Noir

Riesling, Sparkling rosé, and Pinot Noir 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. The J.J. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese Riesling with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 56 dollars per bottle.

"A tad reduced in aroma, this young white has plenty of intensity, offering lime, peach and slate flavors matched to a silky texture. It's awkward today, needing time to integrate. Best from 2008 through 2020. 1,500 cases made." –BS
