What wine goes with Mexican food?
Tacos, guacamole and salsa are spicy, fresh and often sour from the lime. A fresh white wine goes well with them. Sauvignon Blanc has green, citrusy notes that suit coriander and lime. A Riesling with a little sweetness tempers the heat. With dishes with beef, mole or beans, a ripe Primitivo or Zinfandel works well.
