Easter Food&Wine Pairings
Wine Pairing for Ham
Whites
Riesling (Dry)
Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay (Medium Body)
Gew�rztraminer
Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris
Reds
Pinot NoirBeaujolais
Grenache
Tempranillo
Wine Pairing for Lamb
Lamb is the traditional meat of the day. Spring lamb, leg of lamb, roast of lamb, stuffed lamb- they are all delightful,and they all demand an equal in their wine pairing. So what wine do you pair with lamb?
Easy: a Pinot Noir. What we are after here is a fruity yet elegant red wine with just a zip of acidity that will animate the meal,
instead of weighing things down.
Other Foods:
Fish
Choose a light Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris or crisp Chardonnay.
Pinot Grigio&Chardonnay are a great choice for most types of fish and seafood dishes,
and offers a well-balanced finish and crisp flavor. The same varietals are another top pick,
perfect with salmon, scallops, and even lobster.
Tomato-based dishes or casseroles
Chianti
Pinot Noir
Roasted Chicken
Try a Shiraz/Syrah for a slightly peppery flavors.
A light merlot will also work well with a roast chicken and potato meal,
while standard whites might include a Chenin Blanc, Pinot Blanc, or Chablis.
Wine Pairing for Asparagus, Peas, Lentils and all Spring Vegetables
Perhaps you are a vegetarian, and these will be the main plates for your Easter feast.Otherwise, these are the traditional veggies seen as side dishes for the aforementioned ham and lamb.
Why not give them their own perfect wine pairing? Asparagus is one of the toughest vegetable to pair with wine,
and most restaurant sommeliers will give you the same answer if asked which one wine pairs with asparagus best:
Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris ( Pinot Grigio). Hands down, no contest, this is what this great white wine is known for.
Wine Pairing for Chocolate Bunnies and Marshmallow Peeps
Well, no discussion of Easter foods would be complete without a nod to these two fellows:the chocolate bunny and the marshmallow peep. So what wine does one pair with chocolate and marshmallow?
Why, a sweet desert wine of course. But not just any dessert wine: we wanted something perfect, and we found it.
For the chocolate bunnies, Ice Wine will pair perfectly with the chocolate,
while the zip that remains in a well-made Ice wine will keep the whole pairing from getting too sweet or cloying.
And when celebrating Spring, isn't a thawed bit of Ice Wine the perfect idea?
For your marshmallow peeps, we recommend moscato. Again, it's the big aromatics in play here that will pair wonderfully
with the subtle flavors and sweetness of the marshmallow.
Italian Prosecco is also a great choice for the little peeps!
These wines also work great with those other Easter basket favorites: Jelly Beans!
Other Desserts
Cheesecake will work best with a bubbling Moscato D'Asti,while chocolate cake or heavier desserts can be enhanced with a deep red or port wine.
If you're making apple pie a la mode, pair it with Riesling.
