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. The Concha y Toro Marques de Casa Concha Pinot Noir with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

Delicate deep red color. The nose presents concentrated aromas of strawberries and raspberries. The palate offers a refined texture and complex flavors of cherries, raspberries, licorice with a notable structure. Feels so lush, fine and delicate.This very versatile wine pairs well with white meats such as rabbit, pork, or quail as well as with fatty fish and shellfish in light and delicate preparations. Also fares well with Asian dishes such as stir-fries and mild curries.
