Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Mexican can be paired 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. The Bench Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Bench Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Lean, vibrant and delightful. Sourced primarily from Sangiacomo Amaral Ranch Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast AVA. This is a wine with a lean, elegant structure and vibrant acidity, reminiscent of Burgundy.It complements rich sauces, roasted meats, and loves to be paired with poultry.
