Treat your mom this Mother's Day by creating some delicious food and Champagne pairings at home for brunch, lunch or dinner. Try some easy and elegant dishes like Crab Cake Eggs Benedict with a beautiful full-bodies Brut (perfect for brunch!), an easy Salmon and Vegetables en Papillote (fancy speak for cooked in a paper package) with a light rosé, a Spanish roast chicken with a balanced Brut for dinner, or a selection of tasty appetizers to go along with any meal. If you’re a mom, drop a few of these tasty hints to your family and enjoy your Sunday off! See below for some dining inspiration and get more Champagne pairing tips.

Tip: If you’re looking for some wonderful Champagnes, check out my friends at Fat Cork. They’re the importers of over 70 exclusive Grower Champagnes in the United States! That means bubbles that you won’t find anywhere else unless you go to Europe. How cool is that?!
