This recipe for tacos offers lots of flavor and that will be complemented by a wine with some body but not a wine that will overwhelm the tacos themselves. Tassel Ridge Iowa St. Croix Rosé is a dry rosé with strawberry, raspberry, peach, and nectarine notes and a slightly drying finish. It is best when served chilled.— Bob Wersen, Owner, Tassel Ridge Winery
