Servings:

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Mexican works really well 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. The DeLoach Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
