Brunch and Wine Pairings For The Ages

Pancakes + German Riesling(01 of05)

One bite of Corkbuzz's lemon ricotta pancakes followed by a sip of German Riesling and you'll be sold. The sweetness of the wine works well with the sweet pancakes, especially when there's some citrus in there to even things out. (credit:Corkbuzz;Brian Macdonald via Getty Images)

Eggs + Sparkling Wine(02 of05)

Eggs are traditionally a difficult food to pair with wine, Maniec told us. You want to stay away from tannins and oak, she says. Sparkling wine is a great option. We're in. (credit:kabVisio via Getty Images;Slow Images via Getty)

French Toast + Pinot Noir(03 of05)

Corkbuzz's cornflake-crusted French Toast, which comes with seasonal jam and whipped cream, goes well with an oaky Pinot Noir. The oak in the wine melds with the berry and vanilla in the French toast, Meniac says, making for an exquisite pairing. Whether you'll be able to get up from the table afterwards is on you.

Vegetable Frittata + Gruner Veltliner(04 of05)

A wine like Gruner Veltliner, which is a "refreshing, medium-bodied, peppery white wine with stone fruit flavors," goes well with greens and vegetables. The wine is great for any vegetable frittatas or quiches, or the kale and apple salad on the menu you know you should order but probably won't.

Burger + Rosé(05 of05)

A rosé can hold its own against a burger, but it's light enough for brunch. Corkbuzz offers a whole class on pairing burgers with rose, so you know the combination is a winner. (credit:Facebook/CorkbuzzWineStudio; Albert Fedchenko via Getty Images)
