What is it about brunch that feels so luxuriously special?
Is it the chance to have dishes you limit during regular hours, like eggs benedict, or french toast, or seafood platters? The opportunity to spend time enjoying a meal not crammed into the space between meetings / work / errands? The time to connect with equally busy family and friends, often to mark a special occasion or holiday, like Easter? Perhaps it's because it feels somehow proper to partake in a key aspect of brunching: daytime drinking. I suspect it's all of those reasons, and possibly more (I didn't mention the proliferation of bacon, or desserts). When you're selecting wines for brunching, it's wise to look for fresh, bright wines that suit a wide variety of foods, and hover around the lower end of the alcohol spectrum; you need to function wisely for the rest of your day, after all. Sparkling wines are always a beautiful choice, matching well both with assorted foods, and assorted people. Plus, the bubbles can refresh your palate from numerous salty, sweet, savoury flavours, often common with brunching. Here is our supersized holiday weekend Top 10 Brunch Wines, sparkling and straight, for enjoying on Easter, or whenever the brunching hour arises.
