Happy April and happy spring! The flowers are beginning to bloom and it’s almost time for Easter. You know what that means? Easter baskets! But who said only the little ones get fun candy-filled baskets? What about the adults? This month, the winery is teaming up with the Easter bunny himself to pair our favorite M Cellars wines with classic Easter candies!
M Cellars Madelyn & Peeps
The most classic Easter candy? Peeps! Brightly colored, adorably shaped, and sugary sweet, these fun marshmallow treats belong in every Easter basket. Our sparkling Riesling, Madelyn, is the perfect choice to sip on while munching on those little yellow peeps. The pop of the bubbles pairs with the light airiness of the marshmallow, creating a party inside your mouth!
M Cellars Pinot Noir Reserve & Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
Everyone’s favorite combo is chocolate and peanut butter. An even better combo? Chocolate, P.B., and red wine! Our 2020 Pinot Noir Reserve is the best compliment to a delicious Reese’s eggs. The richness and silky mouthfeel of this Pinot brings out the creaminess of the chocolate and peanut butter to make the best Easter treat!
M Cellars Dry Rosé & Jelly Beans
With all the different flavors of jelly beans out there, you would think it might be challenging to find a good pairing for this fun candy. That’s where our Dry Rosé comes to the rescue! This rosé is fragrant and full of fun fruity flavors, making it the perfect match for a big handful of jelly beans. Just make sure you pick out the stinky socks flavor (yes that’s a real flavor!)
M Cellars Chardonnay Reserve & Crème Eggs
An Easter basket staple? The iconic chocolate crème eggs. Only available in stores seasonally, this candy is the perfect match for our 2020 Chardonnay Reserve! The oakiness of this chard compliments the chocolate shell, while the creaminess of the wine pairs with the crème filling. Just make sure you get the candy and the wine before it disappears from the shelves!
M Cellars Meritage & Chocolate Bunny
The most signature Easter candy is of course the classic chocolate bunny. Whether it’s milk, dark, or white chocolate, this bunny-shaped treat deserves our signature wine to pair with: our 2021 Meritage! This full-bodied Bordeaux-style red blend is fruity and juicy, while still being bold and tannic. And we all know chocolate and red wine are a match made in heaven!
This year, while you put together baskets and hide plastic eggs for the kids to find, think of yourself and your adult friends! Put together your very own Easter basket, filled with fun candy and your favorite M Cellars wine, and enjoy the miracle of wine this Easter! I heard there was a guy who could turn water into wine!
