While some may opt for juicy roasts and hearty hams on Easter Sunday, our fair city is all about the brunch – and brunch is all about the eggs! Ahead of the bunny hopping into town, we're sharing some of our favourite pairings so you can plan a memorable (and tasty!) gathering with loved ones.
Deviled eggs + Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio
An easygoing yet elegant wine that's great with light bites, Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio is our pick to pair with a classic Easter snack – deviled eggs! A delicious (and wallet-friendly) way to start off your gathering.
Quiche Lorraine + Mommessin Beaujolais-Village Vieilles Vignes
With spring moving in, a slightly chilled glass of red makes a welcome addition to brunch! This fruity Beaujolais comes from the land of indulgent dishes, and makes an excellent companion to a sumptuous slice of bacon-flecked quiche.
Eggs Florentine + Ropiteau Chablis Premiuer Cru Vaillons
Ropiteau Chablis Premiuer Cru Vaillons is definitely a foodie type of wine! This complex white packs a punch of crisp, fresh flavours that cut through the richness of silky hollandaise swirled with runny yolks of perfectly poached eggs.
Quail's eggs with salmon roe + Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs
Posh as ever, Nyetimber’s Blanc de Blancs is perfect with this classy and classic egg dish. The fresh citrus notes from the wine work beautifully with the creamy quail's eggs and delicate salmon roe – and many other brunch favourites!
Egg tarts + Louis Guntrum Riesling Spätlese Nierstein Rehbach
Offering medium sweetness and a great level of acidity, this Riesling is incredibly well-balanced and moreish! Being just the right amount of sweet makes it a marvelous match for velvety egg custard nestled in flaky pastry.
Dark chocolate eggs + Flametree Cabernet Merlot
It wouldn't be Easter without some chocolate eggs! Smooth and elegant with its dark fruit and cherry flavours and earthy finish, this Cabernet Merlot is downright dreamy with a bite of dark chocolate – or a basketful from the bunny!
