Mother’s Day Brunch Pairing with Recipe

Mother’s Day is this weekend and there’s nothing Mom’s love more than Rosé and brunch.

Show your mom how much you love her with some Rosé paired with an Eggs Benedict Casserole. Pink wines are one of my favorite brunch drinks, and they are very versatile when it comes to food. This pale pink, lighter style Casa Smith Vino Rose from Charles Smith was a great match with this Eggs Benedict Casserole. The acidity of the crisp rose cuts into the rich, smooth hollandaise sauce.  

Champagne and tacos? Yes, please! I’m celebrating Cinco de Mayo with tacos this weekend and have decided to pair it with a Brut Authentic Champagne from Canard-Duchene. These tacos are full of bold flavors, including salsa and spiced meat. The best way to cleanse your palate with spicy flavors is with a wine that is low in tannins and high in acidity, which is why this crisp, citrusy champagne was a great match with this dish.

This week’s pairing is one of my favorite Chardonnays from Cuvaison with a delicious and easy-to-make baked Dijon-Garlic Salmon. Pairing a rich, oily fish like Salmon with a full-bodied, creamy Chardonnay makes for a perfect combination.
