Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. 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 EnRoute Winery Les Pommiers Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 62 dollars per bottle.
