I'm having friends over and we will be having Salsa Chicken and Quesadillas. What type of wine would go w/ that?

Welcome to the board, Kim.
I would have a Spanish red. Look down the board to the Spanish thread and you'll find lots of 'em listed... I've posted on a couple recently that would go just fine with that dinner.... Palacio de Sada quickly comes to mind. But since distribution of particular labels is so spotty across the different states, a particular label might be hard to find. Look for a Crianza of Tempranillo blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and expect to pay $10-$12 at a discount house like Sam's Wholesale Club.

Hi Kim and welcome to the board. I personally drink a fruity Zinfandel with my Mexican dishes if they have the traditional spices. The 03 Rosenblum Oakley vineyard will handle any Mexican food you can throw at it. EWW

An inexpensive Sparkler works great -- give it a try.

Personally, I'd go with a spanish rose.
