Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Sparkling Rose, Riesling

Pinot Noir, Sparkling rosé, and Riesling 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. The Williams Selyem Westside Road Neighbors Pinot Noir with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 130 dollars per bottle.
