The Expert-Approved Wine Pairing For Meaty Tacos

The citrusy notes and crisp finish of the Girasole Pinot Blanc makes it a natural pairing for tacos. After all, it’s the fruity, acidic touch of lime that adds that finishing balance of flavor to a spicy dish. If a frozen marg goes well with your carnitas tacos, why not a balanced, lemony Pinot Blanc? Something with high acid, or even tropical flavor notes, would work as well.

When pairing red wines with Mexican food, the common practice is to opt for something that is low in tannins, as tannic wines can clash harshly with spice. Instead, something that is effortlessly drinkable, like a bold red with red fruit notes, can cut all the way through the heat while staying refreshing. (You might even go for a chilled red wine on a hot day.)

This is why the Silk & Spice Silk Route Red Blend is a great fit for a meaty, flavorful taco. Notes of black pepper and vanilla balance each other out, while a fruity finish makes it an expressive and drinkable table wine that can stand up to strong flavors.
