Brunch Wine Pairings for Spring

Why do the first signs of Spring conjure up visions of brunch? For us, it's the perky green veggies that are finally poking out of the ground, and that special morning light that begs to be celebrated with a long, meandering feast with friends and loved ones, at a table set with savory breakfast favorites and maybe a few sweet treats. And wine!

If you've got brunch on the mind, too, here are a few Sip Better wines we love drinking with classic brunchy foods, plus, a no-fail recipe for the most impressive Dutch Baby pancake. Clink, Clink!

SAVORY BRUNCH FOODS

We're talkin' steak and eggs, chilaquiles, veggie-filled frittatas, and anything with mushrooms, meat, peppers, onions or tomatoes! For those super savory breakfast foods, serve a light-bodied red like Bodegas Itxas Harri Beltza from Spain or Elena Walch Schiava.

PASTRIES + SWEETS

From waffles to cinnamon rolls to dutch baby pancakes (recipe below), you'll want something sparkling and slightly sweet. Try the pretty pink Patrick...

Hello, friend! I hope you're having a fantastic Friday! Make it even better by checking out this list of fun things we like this week:

FRIDAY FAVES - 6.25.21

- If you're looking for a new podcast for your commute, try the new Shattered Glass, hosted by Kristen Bell and Monica Padman. Each epsiode, Kristen and Monica interview a different woman who has played a part in cracking that dastardly glass ceiling. 

- If you prefer a lighter listen, try Add To Cart, a podcast about the products and ideas that Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak are putting in and taking out of their "carts" each week.

- This seems like the freshest spring side dish! Snap peas and burrata? I'm in.

- If you'd like a wine pairing for that snap pea delight (above), pop the cork on a bottle of Evolúció (dry) Furmint!

- Also, this stone fruit and burrata salad!

- Here are four books to broaden your persepective during Pride month.

- Start freezing your leftover wine! Great for sangria slushies or adding to a future sauce...
