Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

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 DeLoach Russian River Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.
