Mexican on the menu? Try pairing 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 Byron Fiddlestix Vineyard Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 45 dollars per bottle.
