Been asked to take wine to a brunch or dinner party? Here are a few suggestions.
''Brunch is honestly the easiest,'' said Mary Ewing-Mulligan, president of the International Wine Center, a New York wine school that trains wine professionals and serious consumers. ''A sparkling wine is perfect for brunch.''
Champagne is great with eggs or toasted bread flavors, she said. Or try prosecco, a light sparkling wine from Italy, or cava, Spain's answer to prosecco. Both go down easily and are less expensive than Champagne, which is produced only in France.
For dinner, ''we think you should really be driven by the type of food being served,'' said Karen Page, co-author of What to Drink With What You Eat. ''If you don't know what the food is, go for bubbles or rose.''
Other good, all-purpose, food-friendly options are rieslings and pinot noirs, she said. Riesling is a low-alcohol wine with a hint of sweetness that goes well with spicy cuisines, such as Indian, as well as Asian foods, such as sushi.
If you'd rather go for something red, pinot noir is considered highly versatile, doing as well with a hearty red meat as with a delicate seafood.
