Because our mothers only deserve the best, we’ve chosen the top wines to make brunch this Sunday extra special:
Pierre Paillard, Brut Grand Cru, Champagne AOC, France: Nothing says celebrate more than bubbly, and this blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay has a nice balance of finesse and richness (just like mum). Share over smoked salmon blinis. $54 at www.bcliquorstores.com
2014 Les Fleurs du Mal, Cévennes IGP, France: This dry rosé is perfect for quality time spent with mom on the patio. Thirst-quenching notes of rhubarb, strawberry and orange peel make it easy to sip on its own, or match it with salade nicoise or a plate of charcuterie and cheese. $13 at www.bcliquorstores.com
2011 Fontodi, Chianti Classico DOCG, France: Having your mum over for dinner? Zesty notes of red cherry, cinnamon and leather make this wine a great match for tomato-based Osso Buco or spaghetti Bolognese. It also works like a charm with grilled steak or partridge. Molto elegante! $32 at www.bcliquorstores.com
