Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Sparkling Rose, Riesling

Mexican works really well with Pinot Noir, Sparkling rosé, and Riesling. 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 Jimmy John's Vin De Sandwich Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.
