Lustau Pedro Ximenez Sherry

Make pancakes a little thinner, more like crepes.
Wrap around a sausage and scrambled egg filling with a few scattered healthy seeds and nuts.
Top with golden raisins plumped in a glass of the sherry and sliced, fresh grapes for a fruity finish.

[...] I’m not a wine enthusiast. In fact, the majority of pictures on facebook I’m tagged in consist of me and a bottle of Boone’s Farm (told you). I do, however, do enjoy a variety of blog topics. One of which happens to be wine. That being said, my curiosity was piqued at a serious of challenges in which enthusiasts tried to find a food that was impossible to be paired with wine. Enter the challenge of pancakes and sausage! [...]

Sorry, but I would nix the notion of any alcohol and go for a deep, rich coffee.
I sometimes will have ‘breakfast’ for supper and would only have coffee. I might be up late with that caffeine but I do NOT do decaf.

Hey! But that’s me.

I’ve got to throw this out there. Not really a wine pairing but in tune with the backwards night why not try out either a oatmeal stout or milk stout (brewed with lactose). Both are ideal for breakfast drinking much like a Mimosa but drinking a beer in the morning is always a scary thought so this would work out much better. Also extra points if you decide to make stout pancakes (replace the water with a stout). But besides that a Mimosa or Bellini are most likely your best options.

Clos Chateau Gaillard ‘Touraine-Mesland’ from the loire. 70% Chenin, 30 Chard. The palate is rich and caramely and the the wine is completely Biodynamic and absolutely delicious.

That, or the Moscato d’Asti for sure.

I second JDWebster prosecco option and you like to throw out there the idea of a fortified marsala maybe from Florio. Any takers?

I’ll second the Mimosa, as I find that to be the only palatable option. Or a variation on the theme, Prosecco with a splash of mango or guava nectar.

When I make pancakes for dinner, I drink a glass of white wine (Vouvray or Riesling or Vinho Verde) while I cook, then switch to juice for the meal. But I like the mimosa idea–makes backwards sense.

What about coffee with a splash of Amaretto in it.

For Sunday brunches where this type of food makes it to our buffet table I always put out champagne and fresh squeezed OJ … sometimes I drink it together as a mimosa …. sometimes seperately either way it would be great, either AM or PM!

The answer to all of these is always Champagne.

This time I’d go rose

How about a wine cocktail like a Mimosa?

“Backwards night”, I like it.

An Orange Muscat would hold up quite well to the peanut butter, maple syrup and sausage.

Why, Moscato d’Asti of course!
