Best wine I have generally found ot pair with guacamole is a Vin D’Alsace
Pinot Gris. Second is of course a Viennese Gruner Veltliner!

It was quite good. This particular Viognier was more fruit forward, and off-dry, so the sweetness kept the spices (including a bit of jalepeno) at bay.

Why not a Sauv/semillion blend or something similar? I’m rather fond of matching Mexican food with Spanish wine; so I’m thinking there’s got to be a Spanish wine for this too: Rueda?
Otherwise has any one tried a Viognier with this?

peace/cheers–

Med+ Bodied white with great acidity. Maybe a Washington State Chard, Semillion, Good weight and Acidity due to the cool nights, even go to Okanagan Canada

A dash of jalapeno + chicken/fish on side – Sauv Blanc
Medium heat + other appetizers – Prosecco
Spice, spice, spice + other chipotle infused dishes – Riesling
Medium spice + beef appearance – Garnacha
Fun challenge!
