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. One wine you could try is Stoltz Organic Pinot Noir. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 26 dollars.
