And the "wine with breakfast" winner is...

We opened up a white and a red.
The 2010 Burgans Albarino (90 Pts Parker) is a lovely wine that was a disaster with the scrambled eggs and home grown tomatoes. The eggs mixed with spinach, ham, onions and mushrooms had an earthiness that made the wine taste tinny and metallic.
Now the 2009 Dom. Cheysson Chiroubles Beaujolais was a different story. The moderate weight of the wine along with the great fruit, low tannins and moderate acidity struck a perfect balance with our breakfast/dinner. I would definitely do this pairing again.
