Description
The strong flavors of Tacos can break the shades of a delicate wine. Do not waste your money on an expensive wine.
Mexican food is an explosion of taste, often with a lot of chili. If the wine is too light, it will disappear behind the food.
Our suggestion is to go for a white wine with mature tropical fruit.
Red tannins can be an enemy to spicy food. Go for fruity reds with round tannins.
Tacos Breakfast (scrambled egg,bacon and potatoes): Champagne, Chardonnay.
Tacos Al Pastor (marinated pork and pineapple): Garnacha, Rioja, Cannonau, Lambrusco.
Tacos Fish (fried or grilled): Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño, Pecorino, Soave.
Tacos Bistec (Beef): Malbec, Tempranillo, Primitivo, Zinfandel, Merlot.
Go Local
Make it a habit to eat and drink local. Expand your skills to understand the passion that wine communicates. Explore the range of possibilities a grape can express through culture, terroir, and climate.

Food and Wine Pairing
Food and wine pairing is highly dependent on both the taste components in the food and the taste components in the wine.
