Champagne is a great pairing with numerous dishes including eggs and egg-based dishes such as frittatas, quiches, and omelets, which are commonly served at Mother’s Day brunches. French toast and pancakes also go well with Champagne. Try a pink Champagne for an added festive flair.
Another great way to serve Champagne at brunch is to make it into a Champagne cocktail. Mimosas are a fun way to jazz up plain orange juice.
Below are 3 different types of wine that would make any mother happy.
Champagne
Women such as the Veuve (widow) Clicquot Ponsardin and Louise Pommery defied all odds, breaking into the male dominated business world to create two of the most celebrated Champagne houses ever. Both women changed the way Champagne was made and marketed and many of their ideas are still in use to this day. Veuve Clicquot blazed a trail for the mass production of Champagne by inventing a quicker and easier way to disgorge the wine (remove the sediment) that is still used in the production of fine sparkling wine around the world. Madame Pommery was first to make the drier Brut style of Champagne that is now so popular. Later, in the middle of the 20th century, another woman [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lily Bollinger, headed the famous house of Bollinger.
Gewurztraminer can also be made into an intoxicating sweet wine. There are many excellent examples of Gewurztraminer Icewines from Ontario. Alsace also makes wonderful sweet Gewurztraminers which are can be labelled as either vendange tardive (which can also be dry so you'll need to ask at the store) [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the much more rare and lusciously sweet sélection de grains nobles. Sweet Gewurztraminers make an excellent partner with fruit tart desserts.

Or, if you want to give your her the night off from cooking, Gewurztraminer is one of the few wines that pairs well with Chinese, Thai [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or Indian food.

Gewurztraminer
Champagne is always a great choice, not only because it is the ultimate celebratory wine, but also because throughout history there have been several powerful women who played significant roles in making Champagne the famous wine it is today.
When choosing a wine for Mother’s Day look for lighter styles. As the weather starts to get warmer in the early days of May, we tend to crave the more refreshing lighter-bodied wines to help beat the heat. Lighter wines also generally pair better with the types of foods traditionally served for Mother’s Day brunches and lunches.
Pink Wines
Now that we are well into spring and Mother’s Day is just a couple of weeks away, you may be wondering how to celebrate this special day. A great bottle of wine can make a Mother's Day brunch or lunch even more special, and you’ll all enjoy the quality time you spend together.
Gewurztraminer is a green grape that makes beautifully scented white wines reminiscent of fresh rose petals and lychee fruit. Lilac, cinnamon, orange blossom, honeysuckle, bergamot, and citrus peel are other common descriptors for these wines. Great Gewurztraminers can be found from Alsace, France and Ontario's Niagara Peninsula, among other places.
