Wine of the Week: Rosé and Eggs Benedict Casserole
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.
Wine of the Week: Casa Smith Vino Rosé
Casa Smith Vino Rosé is made of 100% Sangiovese and is sourced from vineyards near Walla Walla Washington. The wine is a pale pink color and tastes of herbs and watermelon. The bottle will cost you less than $20.
The winemaker, Charles Smith, became passionate about wine while living in Europe working as a punk rock band manager. He eventually moved back to the states, called Washington his home, and released his first wine in 2001.
