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. One wine you could try is Stoltz Organic Pinot Noir. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 26 dollars.

Stoltz Organic Pinot Noir
This Pinot shows well with its deep rich color and floral aroma for an organic Columbia Gorge Pinot noir. Everything is in order for this wine to either welcome years of aging or be drunk on the spot.
