About vegetable oil

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Sparkling Rose, Riesling

Mexican works really well with Pinot Noir, Sparkling rosé, and Riesling. 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 Alexana Revana Vineyard Pinot Noir. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 42 dollars.
