Wine note: With this mole's bounty of fresh herbs and spicy heat provided by jalapeno peppers, a crisp white with a touch of sweetness will refresh without overwhelming the delicate flavors. Try a riesling, like Drylands Dry Riesling 2006 from New Zealand ($15). It offers zesty citrus flavor and lively acidity, much like squeezing a lime over your dish to brighten the flavors. --Jeffery Lindenmuth
