If spending some time with mum over brunch is in your Mother\u2019s Day plans, this article might be just for you. The old Mimosa is a safe go-to to for any brunch pairing \u2013 it\u00b4s fresh, there’s not a lot of alcohol, and it\u2019s versatile enough to match most dishes. However, if you’re feeling like innovating and trying something different, here are a few suggestions:<\/p>\n
If Eggs Benedict are on the menu, consider pairing it with a white sparkling wine \u2013 you’re not that far away from a classic Mimosa and the bright acidity and bubbles will cut through the richness of the egg yolks and the Hollandaise sauce. Champagne is king, but an Italian Prosecco or a Spanish Cava can also deliver at a much smaller price tag. Just be sure to steer clear of the achingly sweet sparkling wines out there.<\/p>\n
Another great brunch staple for this time of the year is the spring vegetable quiche. A French Chablis is close to perfect for this dish but you\u2019ll find similarly good options at lower prices in the unoaked Chardonnays produced here in Ontario.<\/p>\n
And if you\u00b4re finishing with a fruit salad, make sure to pair it with something aromatic and with a touch of sweetness. A Muscat or a Gew\u00fcrztraminer are perfect choices to elevate the fruit salad and end this meal on a sweet note.<\/p>\n
