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. One wine you could try is Sandhi Sanford and Benedict Pinot Noir. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 65 dollars.

The unique 2012 has layers of wild cherry, licorice, black pepper and cinnamon. The pale ruby red color and silky tannins show us how majestic this site is.
