Easter is right around the corner — but if you haven’t grabbed a bottle of wine for dinner yet, don’t worry! We put together a guide to help you find the perfect wine pairing for your appetizers, your meal, and (of course) your dessert! Whether you're hosting a big family gathering or enjoying an intimate meal, these pairings will make your Easter feast even more delicious.
Sides:
Roast Carrots – White Blend
The natural sweetness of roasted carrots pairs beautifully with the bright citrus, tropical fruit, and hint of honeysuckle in the 2023 Conundrum White Blend, all balanced by a smooth, slightly creamy finish.
Potato Salad – Chardonnay
Creamy, tangy potato salad is best complemented by a well-balanced Chardonnay with hints of citrus and oak. Explore our Chardonnay collection.
Fresh Peas with Mint – Sauvignon Blanc
The crisp, herbal freshness of Sauvignon Blanc enhances the vibrant flavors of spring peas and mint. Try a glass of Cloudy Bay.
Deviled Eggs – Prosecco
The light, bubbly nature of Prosecco cuts through the richness of deviled eggs, making for a refreshing pairing. Pop the cork on on bottle of Cupcake Prosecco NV-Italian Sparkling Wine.
Main Course:
Ham – Pinot Noir
A juicy, fruit-forward Pinot Noir balances the saltiness of ham with its bright acidity and red berry flavors. Explore our Pinot collection.
Salmon – Riesling
The crisp, aromatic character of Riesling makes it a fantastic match for rich, flavorful salmon. Newly arrived Chateau Ste Michelle Harvest Select Riesling 2023 is a great pairing.
Shrimp – Pinot Grigio
With its crisp acidity and citrusy notes, Pinot Grigio enhances the delicate sweetness of shrimp dishes. Try "America's top Italian wine," Cavit Pinot Grigio 2023.
Lamb – Malbec
The bold tannins and dark fruit flavors of Malbec stand up to the robust, gamey flavors of lamb. We recommend Alamos Malbec 2023.
Roast Chicken – Provence Rosé
A dry, elegant Provence Rosé complements the savory, crispy skin of roast chicken with its fresh and fruity profile. Pour a glass of Whispering Angel Provence Rose 2022.
Dessert:
Chocolate Eggs – Zinfandel blend
The jammy, rich flavors of Zinfandel create a delicious contrast with the smooth sweetness of chocolate eggs. We recommend Conundrum Red 2022 by Wagner Family of Wines.
Carrot Cake – Moscato
The floral, peachy, and citrusy notes of Moscato enhance the warm spices and creamy frosting of carrot cake. Try Gemma di Luna Moscato N/V.
