Excellent Easter Pairings! Wines For Traditional Easter Meals

 

Easter is coming, and Spec’s has great wines to pair with traditional tastes for your Sunday spread. For many of us, lamb and/or ham will have a central role in the Easter feast, so why not pair these tried-and-true traditional tastes with great wines? Here are a couple of classic combos for your Sunday table.

For lamb dishes, many experts agree that wines from Bordeaux tops the list, especially with grilled or roasted lamb. These smooth, robust reds can handle the strong flavors inherent in lamb. For a less heavily assertive red wine, Pinot Noir is another great option.

Ham dishes can be prepared many different ways, so there are a couple of wildly different choices to be explored depending on your sauce. Bordeaux is another classic choice with many baked ham dishes, but a Riesling can also pair well with hams that have been glazed with an apricot or honey glaze.

The experts at Spec’s are a great resource to help you find just the right wine for Easter dinner – even if you’re just gorging on chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chicks!
