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 Concha y Toro Marques de Casa Concha Pinot Noir. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 26 dollars.
