Hello,

I'm being taken to a Mexican resteraunt next week, and I'm looking for
some ideas on wine matching.

Most of the places I've looked have suggested chardonnay or a slightly
sweeter white, even a riesling or gewurtztraminner.

For a red, Californian zinfandel seems to be the recommendation. Or even
an Aussie sparkler such as a sparkling shiraz.

O, and beer seems to be another one. I gather spicier foods such as
Indian, Thai, some Chinese is often a lot easier just to have beer or
lashi or something like that.


So I'm looking for some ideas. My collection consists mainly of heavier
reds, shiraz and cab sauv mainly. I do have a nice bottle of pinot noir
I've been looking forward to. Some blends like shiraz cabernet as well.

I'd prefer red suggestions, but I have quite a few whites I am trying to
"run down" as I rarely drink whites. However a bottle or two as an
opener before moving onto reds would be good.



Thanks a lot,

Mat.
