Let me introduce you to a personal favorite, the Tres Raíces Rosé. I’ve recommended this gem in my book, ‘Mexican Wines: A Guide to Fall in Love with Wines of México ‘. The blend of Grenache and Caladoc creates a Rosé with berry and floral aromas, which are also present on the palate. A hint of spices adds a unique touch, making it a perfect match for lighter meals and snacks.
For those who enjoy natural fermentation and enjoy kombucha, this is a wine for you. Pet Mex is super refreshing and delightful.

We had the pleasure of experiencing these wines firsthand at the Mexican Wine Brunch on Cinco de Mayo at La Contenta Oeste in the East Village in New York. This vibrant event was a celebration of the rich diversity of Mexican wines and their perfect pairings with traditional Mexican brunch dishes. The menu was a delightful mix of appetizers like nachos and guacamole, and main plates including Chilaquiles, Tacos de Pescado (Fish Tacos), and Eggs Benedict with Poblano Pepper Salsa. It was an authentic Mexican culinary experience that showcased the use of fresh ingredients, inspiring us to recreate these dishes at home.
