Perfect with deviled eggs or simply to toast the holidays
Recommended wine: Recommended wine: Fidora – Prosecco Spumante Extra Dry DOC
Deviled eggs are a timeless classic on the Easter table – creamy, delicate, yet full of character. The silky, mayo-based filling and gentle seasoning set the stage beautifully for a glass of Fidora Prosecco, whose fine citrus and fruity notes playfully highlight the flavors of the dish. This prosecco is not only a perfect match for starters, but also shines as an elegant aperitif. From the very first sip, it brings a festive mood – light, fresh, and just refined enough to be worthy of an Easter toast.
Ham, Boiled Eggs and Horseradish
Recommended wine: Fekete Pince – fkt Juhfark (2023)
This Juhfark from Somló, with its zesty acidity and mineral elegance, beautifully echoes the smoky, bold flavors of the ham, while delicately enhancing the horseradish’s piquant kick. That said, go easy on the horseradish — there’s no wine that truly pairs well with an overpowering dose. The wine’s freshness creates an exciting contrast with the soft texture of the eggs, revealing a new side of itself with each bite. A sip of this fkt Juhfark is like a drop of spring sunshine in your glass.
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Recommended wine: Cantine Sgarzi – Primitivo Puglia (2020)
The silky texture and ripe, spicy fruit of this Primitivo make it a perfect match for the rich, tangy flavors of stuffed cabbage. One bite and one sip, and it’s like a dance of flavors on your palate. The wine’s warmth and gentle tannins blend effortlessly with the dish’s spices — a pairing that invites you to lean back, smile, and savor the moment at the holiday table.
Sweet Easter Brioche with Liptauer Spread
Recommended wine: Clos Henri – Estate Sauvignon Blanc (2024)
The brioche’s subtle sweetness and the Liptauer’s creamy, spiced character are lifted by the vibrant energy of this Sauvignon Blanc. Its citrus and herbal aromas gently embrace the dish, while every sip carries the scent of spring meadows. It’s a playful, cheerful pairing — one you’ll be happy to return to. Just a note: if the Liptauer is particularly heavy on raw onions, it can easily overpower the Sauvignon Blanc’s delicate aromatic profile.
Poppy Seed and Walnut Bejgli
Recommended wine: Sauska - Tokaji Aszú 5 puttonyos
Each golden sip of this Tokaji Aszú holds everything your bejgli dreams of: honey, dried fruits, a hint of walnut, and the elegance of the Tokaj region. It softens the poppy seed’s bold, slightly bitter notes with silky sweetness, while the wine’s richness melds beautifully with the walnut’s oily texture. A perfect companion for your holiday dessert — or even a worthy substitute for it.
