""Forget Mimosas - I'm bringing the bubbles to breakfast with a little Italian flair. The Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato D'Asti is my go-to. It's not your average bubbly: It's got just the right amount of fizz and a delicious blend of peach and apricot notes that taste like a lazy Sunday morning. It's breakfast in a glass and perfectly complements a fruit platter or even some pancakes. It's a fun and light way to start the day." - Anthony Gochal, restaurant director and sommelier of The Yacht Club"
""I can't resist Champagne in the morning - it's crisp, fresh and wakes up the palate better than coffee. A bottle like Bérèche et Fils Brut Réserve, paired with smoked salmon on a bagel or classic eggs Benedict, is about as decadent as breakfast can get. For a sweeter start, like pancakes with fresh berries, I'd turn to a Pinot Noir-driven Champagne. When it comes to that, Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru is always my go-to." - Alfio Scrivano, sommelier at Piccola Cucina Osteria"
Breakfast wines can elevate classic morning dishes by balancing flavors, textures, and sweetness. Eggs often present pairing challenges, but sparkling and lightly sweet wines handle them well. Fruity, low-alcohol bubbles such as Moscato d'Asti complement fruit platters and pancakes, while dry or Pinot Noir-driven Champagne pairs with smoked salmon, bagels, eggs Benedict, and savory omelets. Off-dry styles can balance salty or creamy components in Western omelets. A range of styles from traditional Champagne to unconventional red varieties like Zweigelt can work depending on ingredients and sweetness levels.
