WHAT WINE TONIGHT

What wine for brunch?

Brunch wines should be light, bright, and a little celebratory — it's the one meal where bubbles are practically mandatory. Eggs are wine-tricky; acidity and low alcohol are your friends.

Light, peachy, cheerful

The brunch default for a reason — gentle bubbles flatter eggs, pastries, and conversation.

Sommelier's tip

Better mimosas: 3 parts bubbles, 1 part juice — not the other way around.
