wine and mexican food

[Innkeeper]

Oh, the shame of it all. A student from Long Island puts together a upscale Mexican menu, and comes to the Wine Board for wine suggestions, and what does the Board do? It makes suggestions all over the beverage map. Most egregious are the many references to beer. Recommending beer with this menu, is like saying that beer goes with pizza, therefore you should drink beer with all Italian food. It may come as a complete surprise to some of you, but Mexican food is going uptown in the good ole USA. There is a Mexican Restaurant in Miami Beach (Mexican NOT Cuban) called Mayya, where the average check is $95.00 per person. Larry Stone from Rubicon in SF designed the wine list. How much of it do you think is beer?
