Easter food, good wine, and the company of loved ones. What more could you want on a spring holiday!
Many celebrate Easter more or less from a distance, but you don't have to compromise on togetherness. What if you gathered around a virtual dinner table this time? For example, traditional lamb with a good red wine tastes great even over a video call. You can toast just as well remotely, and you don't need extra chairs either, since video calls can accommodate as many participants as you like. Everyone can sit comfortably on their own couch for once. How convenient!
Traditional Easter treats include lamb or mutton among meat dishes, which pair well with quality red wines. For dessert, many enjoy mämmi, pasha, or delicious Easter pastries like rahkapiirakka. Or why not all of them! As the cherry on top, you'll of course hunt for the Easter eggs hidden by the Easter bunny. What are your favorites from the Easter table? And what kinds of wines should you choose to accompany the food? Here are a few good tips to keep in mind!
Noble and Impressive Meat Wine
From the Toro wine region in northwestern Spain, Matsu El Recio is particularly at home alongside meat dishes like lamb. It also works extremely well with cheeses. The striking bottle belongs to a series where the age of the winemaker pictured reflects the wine's developed characteristics. The grape in this delicious table companion is Tempranillo, and the vines are a respectable 100 years old. Wow!

Pinot Noir for Every Course
Another excellent choice for the Easter table is the French Louis Jadot Couvent des Jacobins Bourgogne Pinot Noir. As the name suggests, this wine hails from Burgundy and is made from Pinot Noir grapes. It's a very versatile option for the dinner table, as it's recommended for stews and soups, white meats, cold cuts, cheeses, and even mushroom dishes. You name it!

A Historically Great Classic
Looking for elegant classics? A very traditional option is the majestic French Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, which comes from the Rhône Valley and whose name means "Pope's Castle." This famous wine receives glowing reviews and is a heavenly match for both white and dark meats, as well as cheeses and cold cuts, of course.

Your Highness Tempranillo
Noble elegance can equally be found on Spanish soil. Baron de Ley Gran Reserva is a magnificent lamb wine that's also in its element with aged cheeses or game. This festive and aristocratic wine is made from Tempranillo grapes harvested from the vineyards of Cenicero in Rioja.
