Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Mexican 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. You could try Francis Ford Coppolan Oregon Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.
